Nit: we can shorten this link and keep only 12 chars for hash. https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/6457/commits/8e7a7c36b579 > [3] https://mesonbuild.com/Release-notes.html > > Signed-off-by: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richard...@intel.com> Acked-by: David Marchand <david.march...@redhat.com> Looking at the test reports for this patch, focusing on compilation: - it looks like Intel envs are already using a recent enough meson, - the change passes fine in GHA now, - UNH envs are reporting failures, but that's expected since the images must be refreshed once this patch is merged, So from this aspect, I think we are all set to merge this patch. It seems the "intel-Testing" test is in ... berserk mode and spewing errors for all patches since 10/03. No clue if we have an issue in the main branch, and this test logs are useless. I'll wait for Intel PRC to be back and ignore for now. -- David Marchand
