In our meson scripts, we use configure_file(copy:true) to copy files from srcdir into builddir. However, as of meson-0.64.0, this is deprecated [1] in favor of using: fs = import('fs') fs.copyfile(in, out) Except, the submodule's new method wasn't introduced until 0.64.0. And since we can't bump the minimal meson version we require, we have to work with both: new and old versions. Now, the fun part: fs.copyfile() is not a drop in replacement as it returns different type (a custom_target object). This is incompatible with places where we store the configure_file() retval in a variable to process it further. While we could just replace 'copy:true' with a dummy 'configuration:...' (say 'configuration: configmake_conf') we can't do that for binary files (like src/fonts/ or src/images/). Therefore, places where we are not interested in the retval can be switched to fs.copyfile() and places where we are interested in the retval will just use a dummy 'configuration:'. Except, src/network/meson.build. In here we not just copy the file but also specify alternative install dir and that's not something that fs.copyfile() can handle. Yet, using 'copy: true' is viewed wrong [2]. 1: https://mesonbuild.com/Release-notes-for-0-64-0.html#fscopyfile-to-replace-configure_filecopy-true 2: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/10042 Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com> |
