Fedora 29: FEDORA-2019-27e7b92407 Critical: gsconnect security issue

The KDE Connect project allows devices to securely share content such as

notifications and files as well as interactive features such as SMS messaging

and remote input. The KDE Connect team maintains cross-desktop, Android and

Sailfish applications as well as an interface for KDE Plasma.

GSConnect is a complete implementation of KDE Connect especially for GNOME Shell

with Nautilus, Chrome and Firefox integration. It is does not rely on the KDE

Connect desktop application and will not work with it installed.

This update fixes a [bug](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5268) in

the Meson build system which caused binaries and libraries to incorrectly be

marking as requiring an executable stack. This makes them more vulnerable to

security issues, and also can result in errors caused by SELinux denials. This

update also provides rebuilds of all the packages that were built with the buggy

Meson, excepting packages for updates were already pending (in those cases,

those updates have been edited instead).
