The new series supports the Meson build system, which makes it tractable to start building this on Windows.

Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found it was in an excellent condition.

Ah, hmm. Meson requires Python 3. So if we want to commit to the Meson build system for packages that provide Python assets — as this one does — we'll need to drop Python 2.7 support. Personally, I'm feeling pretty OK with that, but it's something to think about ...

This is blocked until the next release of Meson comes out, because the macOS builds are failing due to a bug fixed in the as-yet-unreleased PR mesonbuild/meson#4187.

In my testing, mesonbuild/meson#4187 is necessary to successfully compile
conda-forge/gobject-introspection-feedstock#9 on macOS. This patch can be
taken out whenever the next Meson release comes out.
By switching to the Meson build system, it becomes tractable to build on
Windows. The price is that Meson only works on Python >= 3.6, so we need to
drop support for older Pythons even though gobject-introspection nominally
supports them. In my judgment this is OK.

We still need a few patches to get everything working on all three platforms,
but nothing too invasive.

mesonbuild/meson#4827 contains my diagnosis of
what's going on. We can work around with environment variables.
