Description David Walser 2019-12-13 20:41:56 CET

Fedora has issued an advisory on April 17:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/WUWD7I3OBECOGLFAZLAZHYWH5KYESTVU/

They also rebuilt every package that had been built with meson 0.50.0.  The issue was fixed upstream in 0.50.1.  If we have any packages in Mageia 7 that were built while we had 0.50.0 (between r1377972 on March 16 and r1391962 on April 17), they should be rebuilt.

We should already be good :),
 
we already rebuilt all with fixed meson on April 18th thanks to David Geiger noticing the issue back then...

see the thread: [dev] [Important] Some regression found in current meson 0.50.0
