meson version out of date
Metadata
Current evaluation
2017-era report that snapcraft's meson plugin build environment pinned meson 0.29, missing the i18n/gettext module added in 0.30. No comments, no maintainer response; the plugin has since been rewritten, so the pinned old meson no longer applies.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is 3102 days old with 0 comments and last activity 997 days ago, and the current codebase (snapcraft/parts/, linters/, extensions/) shows the meson plugin was rewritten on the modern craft-parts stack, so the build environment no longer pins meson 0.29 and the reported 'No module named mesonbuild.modules.i18n' ImportError is no longer reproducible. The reporter's own pip-based workaround is effectively what modern plugin behavior provides, making the original problem obsolete rather than merely inactive.

| #1982761 Meson plugin fails in snapcraft version 7.1.0 | snapcraft (launchpad) | closed | Closed without comments or resolution, the report was likely abandoned or marked stale. The meson plugin environment validation failure in snapcraft 7.1.0 on core22 remains unfixed. | |
| #1957766 plugin:meson is not installed during pull stage | snapcraft (launchpad) | open | snapcraft 6.0.1: plugin:meson parts are not cached during the pull stage, so the build stage must fetch meson over the network and the proxy times out. Reported by xnox, open ~4.6 years with no labels, comments, or maintainer response. |
