[libvirt] [PATCH 00/11] build: work in progress illustration of meson conversion

[Daniel P. Berrangé]

For the past week or to I've been tackling the problem of converting
from autotools to meson.

Many of the virt related projects have gone through this already, but
libvirt is a bit of a special case because it is so huge. In particular
I don't think it is acceptable to do a big bang where the entire of
meson support is in one commit and then entire of autotools support
is deleted in the next commit. While this was OK for smaller projects,
it is impossible to sensibly review for something as large as libvirt.

Obviously this series is faaaar from complete as it hasn't tried to
convert anything in the src/ dir where most of our cruft is.

It is also not tested on anything other than my Fedora 30 system so
don't expect perfection here.

Daniel P. Berrangé (11):
  build: mandate use of a build dir != src dir
  build: drop support for python2, requiring python3 only
  build: introduce bare minimum use of meson as a build system
  build: declare deps for libraries built by autotools
  build: use meson for building the example programs
  build: use meson for installing example program src / data
  build: use meson for building NSS modules
  build: add command line options for enabling each driver
  build: use meson for building virt-host-validate
  build: use meson for building virt-login-shell
  build: use meson for building virsh / virt-admin
