[Intel-gfx] IGT news - New mailing list, switching to meson

[Petri Latvala]

New mailing list
================


IGT now has its own mailing list. For a transition period, patches on
both the new mailing list and intel-gfx (with the appropriate patch
subjectprefix) get tested on their own respective Patchwork
instances. Patches that are sent to both lists will get deduplicated
so they only appear in one Patchwork instance, so feel free to send
patches to both lists if you have a need to do so.

As IGT is no longer just an Intel-specific framework, the new mailing
list is one step towards reducing false associations.

Current subscribers to intel-gfx are not automatically subscribed to
the new mailing list. Please subscribe on the below list page
yourself.

CI to use meson for building
============================


In the near future, CI will build IGT with Meson instead of
Autotools. Meson is now the main supported build system, with
Autotools still kept around and maintained on a best-effort basis
until stated otherwise.

This will mean that if your patch doesn't build with Meson, it doesn't
get tested. If you're still using Autotools for your development,
now is a good time to switch. For getting started, refer to the README
file, section "Meson build system support".
