(dbus#181, fd.o#101629)
Build-time configuration changes:
• Add a Meson build system. This is currently considered experimental,
but the intention is for it to replace Autotools and/or CMake in future
releases, preferably both. Please test!
(dbus!303; Félix Piédallu, Marc-André Lureau, Simon McVittie)
· This requires Meson 0.56 or newer, and Python 3.5 or newer.
· Expat can be built as a subproject using Meson's "wrap" mechanism,
if desired. This should make it considerably easier to build dbus
for Windows or other platforms without a library packaging system.
· GLib can also be built as a subproject using Meson's "wrap" mechanism,
if desired. This should make it considerably easier to build full
test coverage on Windows or other platforms without a library
packaging system.
• Please note that not all Meson build options correspond 1:1 to how
the closest equivalents in Autotools or CMake behave. Distributors
and developers evaluating the Meson build should check that they are
configuring dbus the way they intend to.
Enhancements:
• D-Bus Specification 0.39:
· Document how to represent internationalized domain names in D-Bus
names (dbus!324, Simon McVittie)
• Speed up closing file descriptors for subprocesses by using
closefrom() or close_range() where available
