Bug#1092945: FTBFS with meson 1.7.0rc1 (experimental)

[Eli Schwartz]

Source: glib2.0
Version: 2.82.4-1
Severity: important
Tags: ftbfs

During an archive rebuild in experimental, glib failed to build with
meson 1.7


meson test -C debian/build/deb \
        --no-rebuild \
        --num-processes 1 \
        --timeout-multiplier 3 \
        --no-suite flaky \
        --verbose \
|| exit $?


Producing the following error log:


134/387 glib:glib+core / gtester-xmllint-check
      RUNNING

This is caused by upstream change:
https://mesonbuild.com/Release-notes-for-1-7-0.html#test-targets-no-longer-built-by-default

It is an intentional change, and the glib package will need to adapt.
Possible solutions:

- switch to debhelper's dh_auto_test, which invokes meson test without
  using --no-rebuild
- remove the --no-rebuild flag
- run `ninja meson-test-prereq` before running "meson test"
