+Subject: [PATCH] lib/meson.build: do not hardcode the build directory into the
+ installable library
+
+This breaks reproducibility, and is not otherwise appropriate, as the
+original directory may not exist. If there's a use case for referring to
+it, the location should be passed in with a command line switch or
+environment variable.
+
+imgdir is set elsewhere in meson.build to:
+
+imgdir = join_paths(build_root, 'data')
+
+and them IGT_IMGDIR is used thusly in lib/igt_core.h:
+
+/**
+ * igt_fopen_data:
+ * @filename: filename to open.
+ *
+ * Open a datafile for test, first try from installation directory,
+ * then from build directory, and finally from current directory.
+ */
+#define igt_fopen_data(filename) \
+ __igt_fopen_data(IGT_SRCDIR, IGT_DATADIR, IGT_IMGDIR, filename)
+
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [hack patching in a bogus dir; issue reported at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools/-/issues/190]
