Description

CC-ing Paolo can you see any potential issue(s) within proposed version of meson? Im a bit hesitant to update crucial component just before ITM26 milestone. On the other hand it may be easy to justify exception/blocker if needed. No objections. 0.58.2 might also be a good alternative as that's the last 0.58 release and it's rock solid. Either is fine as long as desktop QE accepts it, since virt packages should be okay with both. We would certainly like to have 0.57 or newer, as that will become a requirement for QEMU 6.2. In the end we have come in the conclusion on our SST meeting that it's rather risky to do this at this point. It might be done in the future when there will be a consent from the subsystems involved in meson-maint@. > In the end we have come in the conclusion on our SST meeting that it's rather risky

Danilo, QEMU 6.2 will most likely require 0.57 and IIUC it will be in RHEL9. Am I correct,
and if so should we prepare for that by upgrading Meson now to 0.58.2?
(Note I am proposing 0.58.2 because it's what QEMU will ship, and I already know of one minor regression in 0.59.x - https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/9230 - no effect on compiled products, just uglier logs, so 0.59.1 would be okay too). +1 from me from the desktop side to update meson to 0.58.2. This is the version we had in F34 build roots for a long time and it was rock solid for building GNOME.

Someone pointed out that 0.58.2 is being used by Fedora for a while, right? Probably that's a better target. I will bring this to the team. Assigning to Eduardo. I will run RHEL-8.6 later on (as if it's a requirement for qemu, rhel-8 and 9 should get it) (In reply to Kalev Lember from comment #7) > +1 from me from the desktop side to update meson to 0.58.2.

Paolo, does it impact qemu in some way? @klember is this an ACK from the desktop team to RHEL-8 as well? @klember is this an ACK from the desktop team to RHEL-8 as well? bz#2006519 (In reply to Danilo Cesar Lemes de Paula from comment #12) > @klember is this an ACK from the desktop team to RHEL-8 as well? Sorry, I can't speak for the desktop team here. I am personally fine with updating it in RHEL 8 as well though. I would be slightly wary of updating to 0.59.1 since a 0.59.2 is planned already at roughly the same time as 0.60.0 (meaning there are probably some known bugs, though none that I know affects QEMU).

I haven't been following the Meson releases so close, so I agree it is probably better to play it safe here and stay with 0.58 then. *** Bug 2018875 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
