Do we really want to use autotools' `dist` to package libdrm once meson has landed? I would've though we would switch to meson and deprecate autotools right away.
I think we should maintain the autotools build at least for a couple of releases. It gives distros a little bit of time to iron out any problems they have in their automation.
On that note, have we talked about how long we'll keep autotools around? Since libdrm doesn't have a stable release schedule like mesa, it might be best to count it in months. 3 months? 6 months? A year?
I think 3 months would probably be fine, but I'm okay with whatever people decide is appropriate.
Once that's decided, I think something like this should also be committed in this series:
