Thanks, your v2 patch no longer returns an error claiming it is corrupted. :)
Glad to hear it ;) I'm very new to this whole submitting patch via git process so please bear with me.
Most likely you'd want to take a look at build-aux/edit-script.sh.in, and the "substs" dictionary of replacements in meson.build -- you can add options to meson_options.txt
autotools is still supported, and I'd advise adding options to both meson and autotools -- the plan is to deprecate autotools soon, but until it's actually removed, we should probably try to make them both behave the same. :D
Feel free to ask any questions about implementing changes in meson.
Thanks a lot. I will get down to work and re-submit a new patch once it is ready. The support in pacman community is amazing ;)
Note... there was an --as-root option not that long ago. It was removed for valid reasons. I will not be accepting a patch that adds this back in. Particularly given I see no justification. I have bootstrapped a LFS build using pacman as a package manager and used a dedicated build user throughout. Allan
