Missing meson files in 21.1.0 tarball

The xorg-server-21.1.0.tar.xz tarball builds fine with autotools, but it's missing some files necessary to build with meson. Since meson support is a key feature of 21, it'd be nice to get this fixed in a point release so distributions can switch to building with meson.

When building with the default meson options, the missing files are:

  • include/Xserver.d
  • doc/meson.build
  • doc/dtrace/meson.build
  • hw/xfree86/drivers/inputtest/meson.build
  • hw/xfree86/doc/meson.build
  • test/damage/meson.build
  • test/damage/primitives.c

(It'd probably be a good idea to test that building with meson from the release tarball works as part of the release process!)

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
