Hi! I've been maintaining GNUnet packages on OpenWrt for the past decade. By nature everything in OpenWrt is built by cross-compilation, which used to work ok-ish with the autotools-based buildsystem -- sometimes I had to patch a little test or tweek ac_* variables, but in general this allowed for GNUnet to be available on a vast variety of hardware targets, on various different ARM, AArch64, MIPS(el), MIPS(el)64, Loongarch64, PPC, PPC64, RISC-V 64, ... SoCs with and without FPUs, dedicated builds for each popular core, nicely split into more or less atomic packages.
I'm excited to see GNUnet made the switch to meson, which is defintely a step forward, however, I needed to make a bunch of changes to the meson beuild because the meson script requires executing compiled things on the buildhost, which obviously won't work in a cross-compilation environment. In this series I'm addressing this by converting all run-time tests into compile-time tests. I've also added an opt-out option for not building the handbook, as the absence of the 'makeinfo' tool would make the meson install phase fail otherwise (and as you can imagine it anyway doesn't make sense to ship the handbook for embedded devices). Last but not least I've also restored building the 'flat' namecache plugin and made sure the SQL source files for namecache get installed like they did with the autotools based build. I would have loved to just push all this into the git repository, however, it looks like my write access has been revoked. Hence I'm sending those 8 patches here on the mailing list and hope you can just `git am` them. --- FATAL -- ACCESS DENIED Repo gnunet User daniel-golle Stage Before git was called Operation Repo write FATAL: W any gnunet daniel-golle DENIED by fallthru (or you mis-spelled the reponame) fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
