Description Neal Gompa 2020-09-22 03:00:02 UTC

Description of problem:
Please upgrade Meson to at least 0.55.x. I am doing work with libvirt and qemu lately, and unfortunately it is not possible to build either project on RHEL 8 because Meson is too old.

Many projects using Meson aggressively upgrade their minimum version requirements because Meson adds new functionality all the time to support the needs of many projects to avoid too much custom weirdness.

I am suggesting that Meson be upgraded to at least 0.55.1 (the current latest version of the 0.55.x series is 0.55.3) because that's the version that is currently present in EPEL 7 and having a version at or higher than the one in EPEL 7 prevents friction for people upgrading from RHEL 7 to RHEL 8.
