Description Florian Müllner 2017-05-30 00:58:05 UTC 
Only the first patch is needed to support meson, the last two can be applied when we decide to drop autotools support altogether.

build: Support the meson build system

Meson is on track to replace autotools as the build system of choice,
so supporting it seems like a good idea ...

build: Add Build API wrapper for meson/ninja

The Build API[0] used by gnome-continuous expects a configure

compatibility script[1] to make it happy.

Install to backgrounds/gnome, not background/gnome ...
Comment 5 Jakub Steiner 2017-07-12 16:35:39 UTC 
I have no objection to changing the build system, as long as it works.

OK. I'll push only the first one for now (and switch jhbuild), then if we don't run into any issues, we can drop autotools ...
