I was able to build successfully using Meson on PostgreSQL 16. However, whe=
n attempting the same on the latest master(with the revived changes), I enc=
ountered a few errors. We are currently investigating these issues and work=
ing on the necessary fixes.
I=92ll keep you updated once the Meson-related fixes are ready.

Thank you for the suggestion.
Splitting the patch into smaller, constituent pieces makes sense and would =
certainly help with clarity and review.
Appreciate your guidance.


Warm regards,
Sriram.
