-Subject: [PATCH] lib/meson.build: do not hardcode the build directory into the
- installable library
-
-This breaks reproducibility, and is not otherwise appropriate, as the
-original directory may not exist. If there's a use case for referring to
-it, the location should be passed in with a command line switch or
-environment variable.
-
-imgdir is set elsewhere in meson.build to:
-
-imgdir = join_paths(build_root, 'data')
-
-and them IGT_IMGDIR is used thusly in lib/igt_core.h:
-
-/**
- * igt_fopen_data:
- * @filename: filename to open.
- *
- * Open a datafile for test, first try from installation directory,
- * then from build directory, and finally from current directory.
- */
-#define igt_fopen_data(filename) \
-        __igt_fopen_data(IGT_SRCDIR, IGT_DATADIR, IGT_IMGDIR, filename)
-
-Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [hack patching in a bogus dir; issue reported at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools/-/issues/190]
