Subject: [PATCH] build: Deprecate -Druntime_libdir option
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It’s been broken since we ported to Meson and nobody has complained, so
let’s deprecate it this cycle and remove it in GLib ≥ 2.78.

Signed-off-by: Philip Withnall <pwithnall@endlessos.org>

Fixes: #2786

-        Allows specifying a relative path to where to install the runtime
-        libraries (meaning library files used for running, not developing,
-        GLib applications). This can be used in operating system setups where
-        programs using GLib needs to run before e.g. <filename>/usr</filename>
-        is mounted.
-        For example, if <varname>LIBDIR</varname> is <filename>/usr/lib</filename> and
-        <filename>../../lib</filename> is passed to
-        <option>-Druntime_libdir</option> then the
-        runtime libraries are installed into <filename>/lib</filename> rather
-        than <filename>/usr/lib</filename>.
