2023-03-28docs: replace most uses of `meson_options.txt` with `meson.options`Dylan Baker1-1/+1
I've left the old release notes in place, but updated everything else to use `meson.options`
2022-08-18modules/fs: Replace configure_file(copy:) with fs.copyfileDylan Baker1-0/+27
`configure_file` is both an extremely complicated implementation, and a strange place for copying. It's a bit of a historical artifact, since the fs module didn't yet exist. It makes more sense to move this to the fs module and deprecate this `configure_file` version. This new version works at build time rather than configure time, which has the disadvantage it can't be passed to `run_command`, but with the advantage that changes to the input don't require a full reconfigure.

2021-02-04Introduce `fs.read` to read a file as a stringLuke Drummond1-0/+11
Following #7890, this patch introduces the ability to read the contents of a file to the fs module. This patch introduces the ability to read files at configure time, but has some restrictions: - binary files are not supported (I don't think this will prove a problem, and if people are wanting to do something with binary files, they should probably be shelling out to their own script). - Only files outside the build directory allowed. This limitation should prevent build loops. Given that reading an arbitrary file at configure time can affect the configuration in almost arbitrary ways, meson should force a reconfigure when the given file changes. This is non-configurable, but this can easily be changed with a future keyword argument.

2020-02-06fs: add expanduser methodMichael Hirsch, Ph.D1-2/+14
this should help users specify leading `~` in various Meson options and variables without refactoring lots of places inside Meson itself.
2020-02-06fs: add methods as_posix, is_absoluteMichael Hirsch, Ph.D1-5/+36
fs: make exception specify method name fs: actually raise exceptions fs: resolve path e.g. /opt/foo/.. => /opt/foo fs: correct behavior of is_symlink
2019-12-19fs: rename samefile => is_samepathMichael Hirsch, Ph.D1-8/+19
is_samepath better reflects the nature of this function--that files and directories can be compared. Also, instead of raising exceptions, simply return False when one or both .is_samepath(path1, path1) don't exist. This is more intuitive behavior and avoids having an extra if fs.exist() to go with every fs.is_samepath()
