Hi, this patch series contains a couple of more-or-less random cleanups and improvements for Meson that I have accumulated over the last two months. Changes in v2: - Fix an off-by-one error for test slices used in GitHub Workflows. - Now tested with both GitLab (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/git/-/merge_requests/375) and GitHub (https://github.com/git/git/pull/2010). - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250703-b4-pks-meson-cleanups-v1-0-2804c2932abe@xxxxxx Changes in v3: - Add a comment explaining why we only need to search for Python on the build target. - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250708-b4-pks-meson-cleanups-v2-0-94ac53cd4b95@xxxxxx Thanks!
