Release planning
-
@mic92 we should not switch to Meson for 24.11, but can do so in the next Nix release and get rid of the make build system right away
-
@roberth had suggested in earlier meetings to aim to do so, but we didn’t achieve the migration in time.
The impact of having to backport a few changes to the makefiles is probably not that bad - @tomberek, @ericson2314, @roberth: agreed
- @edosltra gone by now (past end of meeting time on calendar)
-
@roberth had suggested in earlier meetings to aim to do so, but we didn’t achieve the migration in time.

Planning
- @tomberek will rebase
- @roberth will rejoin the effort after other tasks
- Unclear whether lock file / narHash changes are necessary for this PR.
Omitting them could resolve test failures (maybe also revert one or two test changes if they were incorportated in part) - See PR description and comment for remaining tasks
