Is Meson the preferred way of building Cairo these days ?
After briefly looking at the script it's reassuring it seems to do quite a bit, \
though I noticed that LATEST still points at 1.16.0 for some reason so maybe \
something isn't quite right. Does Cairo have CI anywhere?
I guess the tests not all passing is still an issue there?
This seems like something people with more sporadic free time might be able to help \
with enabling. Is it worth looking into funding options to support admin work like \
this ? On Friday, November 13, 2020, 5:51:31 PM GMT, Bryce Harrington \

Yes, that document is kept up to date with the release procedure,
although it may need some changes for meson.
If you guys would like, I can look at rolling a new devel release.
Is the codebase in a releasable state currently?
Fwiw, I've not been involved in the graphics field lately; it may make
sense, if another established Cairo contributor has
time/experience/inclination to take over the release management duties I
can provide training.
