Due to an influx of spam, we have had to impose restrictions on new accounts. Please see this wiki page for instructions on how to get full permissions. Sorry for the inconvenience.
gitlab.freedesktop.org will be unavailable for up to a week starting March 16th, due to our ongoing infrastructure move. You can follow our planning tracker at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/-/issues/2076
Some recipes need to extract the source tree in order to know what
else needs to be fetched. At present, this is true for Cargo recipes
where we need to run cargo vendor to fetch sources for offline
build, and for Meson recipes that require subprojects with wrap files,
where we need to download sources by reading the wrap files.
This is especially important for Cargo recipes, because cargo vendor
can take a dozen minutes or more on Windows. This should speed up the
MSVC CI by 15-20 minutes (when running under full load).
