+Subject: [PATCH] build: Do not use positional arguments in i18n.merge_file
+
+This was never really used and it's breaking meson 60.
+While this may just become a warning in 60.1, it's just better to avoid
+using it.
+
+See: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/9441

+Subject: [PATCH] use more idiomatic/correct embedded shell scripting
+
+Formatting arguments into code is fragile, and meson natively knows how
+to pass files as arguments via argv. So pass them as arguments to the
+shell.

+Subject: [PATCH] remove pointless copying of files into build directory
+
+I'm not entirely sure what this did, but it seems to be obsoleted by
+commit 93bad825406d13ed5eb2cf27541dc58194bef8f3.
