Hello Naga,

yes, you are following the correct method for submitting patches.
Although we already have meson at version 0.53.2, just not in the master
branch yet.

It is only in the core-updates branch:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=3Dcore-updates&id=3D2=
75f874958ddbbb68ddce93be2cb65bec7ac1bd4

This is due to the fact that many (some thousand) packages depend on
meson. So if we update meson, we have to rebuild all those packages.
This should not happen on the master branch. For more information see
point 8 at
http://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html#Submitting=
-Patches

Good night
Jonathan
