Description
Trying to build it without kerberos (which is apparently needed for the testsuite) fails with:
meson.build:214:4: ERROR: Assert failed: GSSAPI support requested, but krb5-config not found. Please specify its path with -Dkrb5-config=PATH
This is because meson_options.txt starts with:
option('gssapi',
type : 'boolean',
value : true,
description : 'Build with GSSAPI support'
I suggest that we add
-Dgssapi=false
with a command explanation of
This package defaults to building with GSSAPI support, which requires kerberos (as does the testsuite). Remove this option if kerberos is present.

Thanks again for this Ken, it'll be in at my next commit (which contains the libsoup update).
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.

Ken, I'll have this put in with libsoup-2.64.1
This is what's hard about the autotools->meson transition - accounting for dependencies.
