Meson version policy
|
||
===
|
||
|
||
Aims
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
* Stable versions of GLib should be buildable from source on the majority of
|
||
systems which are still supported by their vendors, without requiring the
|
||
user to manually build a number of dependencies
|
||
* Unstable versions of GLib should be able to take advantage of newer build
|
||
system features where they would make maintenance of GLib easier, without
|
||
prejudicing the other aims
|
||
|
||
Policy
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
* Stable branches of GLib will not change their Meson dependency after the
|
||
first release of that stable series
|
||
* Unstable branches of GLib can bump their Meson dependency if
|
||
- at least that version of Meson currently available in Debian Testing; or
|
||
- the Python version required by the new Meson dependency is available in
|
||
Debian Stable *and* the oldest currently-supported Ubuntu LTS
|
||
* The version of Meson used by GLib should be pinned and pre-installed in the
|
||
CI `Dockerfile`s so that GLib is guaranteed to be built against the expected
|
||
version
|
||
|
||
The reasoning behind allowing a version bump if the Python which Meson depends
|
||
on is available in Debian Stable is that it’s [straightforward to install a more
|
||
recent Meson version using
|
||
`pip`](https://mesonbuild.com/Getting-meson.html#installing-meson-with-pip).
