2023-02-20	minstall: drop privileges before running rebuild_all	Eli Schwartz
	If the user runs `sudo meson install` this may run ninja to build everything that gets installed. This naturally happens as root also, by default, which is bad. Instead, detect root elevation tools and drop the uid/gid of the child ninja process back to the original invoking user before doing anything.
2023-02-20	minstall: rework root elevation prompt for extensibility and behavior	Eli Schwartz
	There's a couple issues with the current approach: - pkexec is an unusual elevation method, the standard is sudo - it tries to elevate even in automated workflows - the user may not want to automatically rerun as root, that might be badly behaved Do some upfront checks instead, first to make sure it even makes sense to try becoming root, and then to ask the user "do you really want this". Also check for a couple common approaches to root elevation, including doas. Fixes #7345 Fixes #7809

2022-09-28	Automaticall tag installed tests	Xavier Claessens
	It is common, at least in GNOME projects, to install tests. Files goes into various locations, including: - /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/installed-tests - /usr/share/installed-tests - /usr/libexec/installed-tests It is safe to assume that everything that goes into a "installed-tests" subdir should be tagged as "tests" by default.
2022-09-09	doc: Recommend tags for libraries utilities	Xavier Claessens
	GLib installs a few executables that are not needed by applications that use the glib libraries, but are used either by build systems or by user scripts. Debian splits them into libglib2.0-dev-bin and libglib2.0-bin packages. Another example is GStreamer tools (e.g. gst-launch-1.0) that Debian packages separately in gstreamer1.0-tools. It is common enough that Meson documentation should recommend a tag for consistency across projects.
2022-07-14	docs: add some function linkification in code snippets	Eli Schwartz
	Let people easily find the documentation for concepts we are trying to teach.

	Fixes: #7007.
2021-08-04	destdir: Allow relative to build directory	Xavier Claessens
	Meson already works like that, except in do_copydir() that requires absolute destdir. Better explicitly support that instead of leaving it undefined and unconsistent.

2018-10-20	Remove implicit compression of man pages	Michał Górny
	Remove the code responsible for implicitly compressing manpages as .gz files. It has been established that manpage compression is a distro packager's task, with existing distros already having their own implementations of compression. Fixes #4330

2018-02-08	Fixed typo	Martin Dagarin
	Fixed typo in section Other install commands, typo was in extension of data file
2017-10-23	docs: Markdown headers don't need trailing hash signs	Luis Menina
	This is a cosmetic change because github seems to interpret those correctly. Nonetheless, it adds unnecessary noise and makes people modifying the pages think it might be needed. See syntax guide at https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/

2017-05-03	docs: add a short description for all top pages in the Manual	Peter Hutterer

2017-05-01	docs: replace occurences of set_install_script()	Ernestas Kulik
	The method has been replaced with add_install_script(). Signed-off-by: Ernestas Kulik <ernestas.kulik@gmail.com>
2017-04-26	docs: Import the website and wiki and build with hotdoc	Thibault Saunier
	This allows us to more easily have the documentation in sync with the source code as people will have to document new features etc right at the time where they implement it.
