Fedora 29: meson Security Update
Summary
Meson is a build system designed to optimize programmer
productivity. It aims to do this by providing simple, out-of-the-box
support for modern software development tools and practices, such as
unit tests, coverage reports, Valgrind, CCache and the like.
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).
