This is a collection of projects that use Meson as their build system, or have a meson port maintained by the Meson team. They can be used as subproject to any Meson project that needs them as dependency.

Clone this repository locally, and set the wraps option with a comma separated list of wraps that needs to be built.

For example to test libjpeg-turbo and zlib:

meson setup builddir -Dwraps=libjpeg-turbo,zlib
meson compile -C builddir

• Write my-project.wrap file and add it in subprojects/ directory.

• If upstream project's build system is not Meson, a port can be added in subprojects/packagefiles/my-project/meson.build and patch_directory = my-subproject should be added into the wrap file. Note that the whole subprojects/packagefiles/my-project subtree will be copied onto the upstream's source tree, but it is generally not accepted to override upstream files.

• Add your release information in releases.json. It is a dictionary where the key is the wrap name and the value is a dictionary containing with the following keys:

  • versions: Sorted list (newest first) of release tags in the format <upstream version>-<revision> where the revision starts at 1 and is incremented when a changed is made in the meson port.
  • dependency_names: (Optional) List of dependency names (e.g. pkg-config name such as glib-2.0) provided by the wrap. It must match information from wrap's [provide] section.
  • program_names: (Optional) List of program names (e.g. glib-compile-resources) provided by the wrap. It must match information from wrap's [provide] section.
  • skip_ci: (Optional) If set to true indicates that the wrap cannot be built as part of the CI, for example if specific environment or dependencies are required.
  • build_options: (Optional) List of option=value strings that will be used to build the project on the CI.

• Create Pull Request with your changes.

Run meson wrap install <name> on the top source dir of your project. It will install subprojects/<name>.wrap file used by Meson to download the dependency.
