Summary and Info:

The 5.2 release tarball is unable to be built using meson due to missing files.

It bails on the first missing files with:

The missing files appear to be:

scripts/po/meson.build
scripts/libmakepkg/meson.build

Steps to Reproduce:

morganamilo@Octavia ~ % curl https://sources.archlinux.org/other/pacman/pacman-5.2.0.tar.gz > pacman-5.2.0.tar.gz
morganamilo@Octavia ~ % tar -xf pacman-5.2.0.tar.gz
morganamilo@Octavia ~ % cd pacman-5.2.0

So... when I ask people if that had done a "make distcheck" and then done a meson build and they confirm that everything works... their "yes" meant "no".


Oh well, meson is unsupported this release anyway!

Patch submitted. I'm not rerolling a tarball just for this. Will work in 5.2.1 (which I'm sure we will need soon enough...)
