I am not sure. The "meson stuff" was only merged three months ago, so is
quite new. I guess it works in the common settings, but I'd expect the
"autotools stuff" to cause less problems.

I'm sorry, but I do not understand the question. Which LATEST are you
talking about?

FDO's GitLab runs some builds:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cairo/cairo/-/pipelines

Yup. It "builds stuff" and runs tests, but ignores the result of running
cairo-test-suite by setting CAIRO_TEST_FORCE_PASS=1. That's better than
nothing.

Sure, please test the meson setup and report problems on GitLab.

Feel free. The current infrastructure runs on freedesktop.org. I am
actually not sure how the funding works here. Or am I misunderstanding
you and you do not mean "admin work" as "keep GitLab running", but
rather "make the test suite pass"?
Cheers,
Uli
