Merging snippets happens in arbitrary order -- whatever filesystem globbing results in. This didn't matter too much when we ran it once at release time and checked the resulting release notes into git. However, now that we generate a temporary version of the release notes for development versions, the order of the results will periodically change. Sort the files before processing them in order to guarantee that whatever order they are in, they stay that way. As a side effect, it's now technically possible to guarantee an ordering by judicious use of snippets naming.
Meson Documentation
Build dependencies
Meson uses itself and hotdoc for generating documentation.
Minimum required version of hotdoc is 0.8.9.
Instructions on how to install hotdoc are here.
Building the documentation
From the Meson repository root dir:
$ cd docs/
$ meson setup built_docs/
$ ninja -C built_docs/
Now you should be able to open the documentation locally
built_docs/Meson documentation-doc/html/index.html
Upload
Meson uses the git-upload hotdoc plugin which basically removes the html pages and replaces with the new content.
You can simply run:
$ ninja -C built_docs/ upload
