Submitted By: Ken Moffat <ken at linuxfromscratch dot org>
Date: 2020-11-30
Initial Package Version: 0.56.0
Upstream Status: Applied
Origin: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/7930
Description: With unpatched 0.56.0, the pkgconfig file for sysprof
(which has a static library) is incorrect, causing libsoup to fail
to link to it until meson and sysprof have been recompiled.
