New checks in #namcap allow us to have an easier time adding #SPDX compliant #license identifiers for #packages! 🎉

The initial integration has been worked out in RFC0016:

We are dropping the Autotools build for GTK 3.x, and have fully switched to Meson. If you package GTK 3 and you are still using Autotools, now is the time to switch.

For more information, see the announcement on Discourse: discourse.gnome.org/t/removing…

Removing the Autotools build for GTK 3

The next GTK 3 release, 3.24.46, will drop support for building with Autotools. GTK has been using Meson in its main development branch since 2016, and in the gtk-3-24 branch since 2018. While we did not officially support the Meson build in the 3.

Speaking of #repod:
If you are a #python programmer and are also a bit into #packaging, have a look and help create the future of #archlinux package repository management:

We are currently hard at work to build a straight forward user experience on the command-line with 0.3.0: gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux…
