Subject: meson: Use `fs.relative_to()` instead of `realpath`
X-Git-Tag: v261-rc2~35
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e32656c2a97b2f28a659dd38f9d9db22062ecf3a;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

meson: Use `fs.relative_to()` instead of `realpath`

When building with Meson >=1.3.0, use the native `fs.relative_to()`
helper instead of shelling out to `realpath`.

This is more portable: BusyBox `realpath` does not support the
`--relative-to` option.
