Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Building with Meson is, thankfully, more straightforward than building with the autoconf+Make system, and if you have all the right dependencies a simple
meson setup build && meson compile -C build
should Just Work.We still need up to date dev docs though, and the incoming support for running the test suite in Meson will actually require some notable caveats in how to run them.
I think we erased the make ones entirely by now but the docs need to be cleaned up and moved to one place.
I think at this point they are mostly complete minus some FIXMEs. Nevertheless, someone should clean up the final few.
