Work on this wasn't properly started in this branch so far. The current useful edit is adding the minimum meson version:

depends_on("[email protected]:", type="build")

To work, the build has to be fixed (currently the build tries to interpret system headers as some script!), and all the variants would have to be converted, and checked which versions can be supported with the Meson build.
If older versions of pango are used by users, a dual buildsystem with Meson and Autotools would be needed if the older versions don't work as MesonPackage.

Hi @Sinan81! I noticed that the following package(s) don't yet have maintainers:

  • pango

Are you interested in adopting any of these package(s)? If so, simply add the following to the package class:

    maintainers = ['Sinan81']

If not, could you contact the developers of this package and see if they are interested? You can quickly see who has worked on a package with spack blame:

$ spack blame pango

Thank you for your help! Please don't add maintainers without their consent.

You don't have to be a Spack expert or package developer in order to be a "maintainer," it just gives us a list of users willing to review PRs or debug issues relating to this package. A package can have multiple maintainers; just add a list of GitHub handles of anyone who wants to volunteer.
