Hi Guix,
I was trying to update a package using meson build system to its newest
version and noticed in the build log
starting phase `install-license-files'
installing 0 license files from '.'
phase `install-license-files' succeeded after 0.0 seconds
Also other packages built using meson don't seem to have license files
in the output.
I think the problem is that the "." directory is the "build" directory
and not the source directory because in meson configure phase we change
directory to the build-dir.
The install-license-files function has an argument for specifying
out-of-source builds and calling it with that set to #t seems to be able
to find license files in the source directory in my limited testing.
Another option would be to specify the build dir in the ninja
invocations without changing to it.
As meson only supports out-of-source builds I think this should be
changed though I am unsure how to best do this.
