-This creates a file called `projectname-version.tar.xz` in the build
-tree subdirectory `meson-dist`. This archive contains the full
-contents of the latest commit in revision control including all the
-submodules (recursively). All revision control metadata is removed.
-Meson then takes
-this archive and tests that it works by doing a full compile + test +
-install cycle. If all these pass, Meson will then create a SHA-256

-**Note**: Meson behaviour is different from Autotools. The Autotools
-"dist" target packages up the current source tree. Meson packages
-the latest revision control commit. The reason for this is that it
-prevents developers from doing accidental releases where the
-distributed archive does not match any commit in revision control
-(especially the one tagged for the release).
