Meson build error "Function does not take positional arguments." #87

@St3fi I worked around this, but it appears this a meson issue. First, I installed meson-git (on archlinux) hoping this was fixed, as this mesonbuild/meson#9445 addresses the issue. No luck though, so I edited /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mesonbuild/modules/i18n.py and removed the |

@nicfit thank you for your reply! I was able to install revelation via yay -S beforehand, however I go another error in the first place when executing revelation: However, it somehow works now, this is what I did:
Now it somehow worked, although I don't know why... |
Uhmmmmm... no. This does not "fix the issue". Meson 0.60 printed a warning that this line is always wrong, does nothing, and should be removed: Line 62 in 29cbbd1 The meson ticket you are linking to is the one that made it a warning instead of an error. Now, it is back to being an error. People were supposed to be removing those lines. Why edit root-owned files like |

@eli-schwartz I said "I worked around this...".. Nothing was fixed. Why edit? Because that is what it took for me to install revelation, when I needed a password then. Not later. |
Patches out a deprecated use of positional argument in i18n.merge_files to ensure build can succeed on meson 0.60 and newer. This change should not break support for meson 0.59.4, as this usage was already deprecated but only throwing warnings at that release.

Meson 0.60 and newer are completely unable to build revelation without this fix, due to the deprecation of the positional argument used. It can be removed without any change to the output. This is an upstreaming of the patch required to make this build in gentoo: gentoo/gentoo@3496474 Fixes Issue mikelolasagasti#87

Hello!
I just updated my archlinux and revelation stopped working. I followed the current install steps with meson but could not create the _build directory:
Program desktop-file-validate found: YES (/usr/bin/desktop-file-validate)data/meson.build:61:5: ERROR: Function does not take positional arguments.How can this be fixed?
Kind regards
