Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2017-74af926adb
2017-07-01 21:00:30.996914
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : meson
Product : Fedora 24
Version : 0.41.1
Release : 1.fc24
URL : http://mesonbuild.com/
Summary : High productivity build system
Description :
Meson is a build system designed to optimize programmer
productivity. It aims to do this by providing simple, out-of-the-box
support for modern software development tools and practices, such as
unit tests, coverage reports, Valgrind, CCache and the like.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
# New features ## Dependency Handler for LLVM Native support for linking
against LLVM using the `dependency` function. ## vcs_tag keyword fallback is is
now optional The `fallback` keyword in `vcs_tag` is now optional. If not given,
its value defaults to the return value of `meson.project_version()`. ## Better
quoting of special characters in ninja command invocations The ninja backend
now quotes special characters that may be interpreted by ninja itself, providing
better interoperability with custom commands. This support may not be perfect;
please report any issues found with special characters to the issue tracker. ##
Pkgconfig support for custom variables The Pkgconfig module object can add
arbitrary variables to the generated .pc file with the new `variables` keyword:
pkg.generate(libraries : libs, subdirs : h,
version : '1.0', name : 'libsimple',
filebase
: 'simple', description : 'A simple demo library.',
variables : ['datadir=${prefix}/data']) ## A target for creating tarballs
Creating distribution tarballs is simple: ninja dist This will create a
`.tar.xz` archive of the source code including submodules without any revision
control information. This command also verifies that the resulting archive can
be built, tested and installed. This is roughly equivalent to the distcheck
target in other build systems. Currently this only works for projects using Git
and only with the Ninja backend. ## Support for passing arguments to Rust
compiler Targets for building rust now take a `rust_args` keyword. ## Code
coverage export for tests Code coverage can be generated for tests by passing
the `--cov` argument to the `run_tests.py` test runner. Note, since multiple
processes are used, coverage must be combined before producing a report
(`coverage3 combine`). ## Reproducible builds All known issues have been fixed
and Meson can now build reproducible Debian packages out of the box. $$
Extended template substitution in configure_file The output argument of
`configure_file()` is parsed for `@BASENAME@` and @PLAINNAME@` substitutions.
## Cross-config property for overriding whether an exe wrapper is needed The
new `needs_exe_wrapper` property allows overriding auto-detection for cases
where `build_machine` appears to be compatible with `host_machine`, but actually
isn't. For example when: - `build_machine` is macOS and `host_machine` is the
iOS Simulator - the `build_machine's libc is glibc but the `host_machine` libc
is uClibc - code relies on kernel features not available on the `build_machine`
## Support for capturing stdout of a command in configure_file
`configure_file()` now supports a new keyword - `capture`. When this argument is
set to true, Meson captures `stdout` of the `command` and writes it to the
target file specified as output.
