Tim-Philipp,
Thanks for CCing me.

karan ahuja,
The proper way to ask them is to file a bug report to JHBuild product in this
very same bugzilla. However, I assume they will prefer to wait for a new meson
release, as jhbuild currently is set to use tarballs from meson, and doesn't
seem to exist a tarball for 0.42.0.dev1.

I've done some local tests in my JHBuild and reached satisfactory results with
latest meson commit. Case you want to try it too, here's what I did:
1- Set "use_local_modulesets" to "true" in my jhbuildrc (config file) in order
to use local moduleset files;
2- Edited <jhbuilddir>/modulesets/gnome-suites-core-deps-3.26.modules (the
default moduleset) to change meson build system from "github-tar (tarball) to
"github.com" (git-clone). Here is a diff:

3- Finally, ran jhbuild build gst-plugins-bad (also had to re-ran Configure
step).
