Since Meson will eventually be the only build system deprecate autotools<br>
now. It can still be used by invoking configure with the flag<br>
--enable-autotools<br>

I think there's support for overriding the sole objection to this patch.<br>
<br>
To confirm:<br>
<br>
(1) The plan is to remove Autotools, perhaps after the 19.0 release<br>
<br>
(2) This patch's purpose is to ensure that everyone knows that<br>
Autotools will be going away (think: people who build Mesa as<br>
part of an automated process and wouldn't notice a deprecation<br>
warning unless it requires some action from them)<br>
<br>
(3) We expect all reasonable concerns about Meson to be resolved<br>
before Autotools is removed (e.g., reconfiguration problems,<br>
retrieving configuration command line, configuration status<br>
output, etc.)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Do we have a tracker bug for these yet? It'd be good to have one if we don't already so that we can keep track of the reasonable blocking issues.</div><div><br></div><div>--Jason<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
