It would be great if you could build meson packages for EPEL 7 as well. Thank you for considering this!
EPEL policies state that package should not have incompatible updates. It is not possible with meson -> WONTFIX.. Though I maintain COPR repository for this -- https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ignatenkobrain/meson-el7
Okay, thank you for reply. Unfortunatelly COPR is not good enough because we wanted to used meson to build knot-resolver in EPEL, which would not be possible. Have a nice day!

Do you already have EPEL7 branch in there and update now requires meson or you were planning to create new EPEL7 branch?
To give you more background: We were considering move to meson in Knot Resolver upstream. The fact that meson is not available in EPEL 7 is a reason not to move to meson upstream because it would prevent us from building new versions of knot-resolver package for RHEL.

Thanks for providing background! If this is the only one thing which blocks you (upstream) from switching to meson? If so - I will definitely go ahead and create EPEL7 branch in some nearest future. P.S. I hope you don't want to have it in EPEL6.. ;)
EPEL 6 is a dead horse for us. Thank you!
Oh, wait, I just realized we have to check another platform - Turris OS. I will keep you posted with results.
Also note that since it is build-time dependency and you don't have problems with using network connection from there, you could run `pip install meson` or such..

There is a issue in meson. It doesn't build against rhel 7.4 version of vulkan and I just requested retirement of vulkan on epel7 because it updates rhel7 version.
Check bug#1493407
Tested - meson builds fine against rhel7 vulkan if BR: pkgconfig(vulkan) is changed to vulkan-devel.

This is spec only issue.
I explain better: rhel7 has older vulcan which doesn't provide pkgconfig(vulcan).
Sorry. pkgconfig(vulkan).
meson-0.42.1-1.el7 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
