Freexian Collaborators: Debian Contributions: cross building, rebootstrap updates, Refresh of the patch tagging guidelines and more! (by Anupa Ann Joseph)
In version 1.10.1, Meson merged a patch to make it call the correct
g-ir-scannerby default thanks to Eli Schwarz. This problem affected more than 130 source packages. Helmut retried building them all and filed 69 patches as a result. A significant portion of those packages require another Meson change to call the correctvapigen. Another notable change is converting gnu-efi to multiarch, which ended up requiring changes to a number of other packages. Since Aurelien dropped thelibcrypt-devdependency fromlibc6-dev, this transition now is mostly complete and has resulted in most of the Perl ecosystem correctly expressingperl-xs-devdependencies needed for cross building. It is these infrastructure changes affecting several client packages that this work targets.
