We don't use it most of the time and it's also confusing to new contributors who think it's important to fix it.
Keep it for manual runs, so that interested people can just click a button to see the results. It also makes it easy to turn back on later.
The build is error-free and we want to keep it that way.
We'd also like to make Timm do real work instead of having to fix clang
warnings all the time and this build is a clang build.
Installed tests require access to the system prefix, and thus a
system-wide installation of Meson, which we don't have.
We're going to restore this job at a later date.
meson setup:
configuration
meson compile:
compilation
meson install
installation
Do not use ninja directly, and do not use `meson` as a synonym for
`meson setup`.
The python3-toml package is deprecated, and replaced by python3-tomli.
At least, until we bump up the dependency to Fedora 37: then we can
depend on Python 3.11, and its TOML parser in the standard library.

There are two possible interpretations of "expected failure": either
the test *must* fail (exactly the inverse of an ordinary test, with
success becoming failure and failure becoming success), or the test
*may* fail (with success intended, but failure possible in some
environments). Autotools had the second interpretation, which seems
more useful in practice, but Meson has the first.
Instead of using should_fail, we can put the tests in one of two new
suites: "flaky" is intended for tests that succeed or fail unpredictably
according to the test environment or chance, while "failing" is for
tests that ought to succeed but currently never do as a result of a
bug or missing functionality. With a sufficiently new version of Meson,
the flaky and failing tests are not run by default, but can be requested
by running a setup that does not exclude them, with a command like:
meson test --setup=x11_unstable --suite=flaky --suite=failing
As a bonus, now that we're setting up setups and their excluded suites
programmatically, the gsk-compare-broadway tests are also excluded by
default when running the test setup for a non-broadway backend.
When running the tests in CI, --suite=gtk overrides the default
exclude_suites, so we have to specify --no-suite=flaky and
--no-suite=failing explicitly.
This arrangement is inspired by GNOME/glib!2987, which was contributed
by Marco Trevisan.

CI is mostly interested in GTK not introducing compiler warnings, other
submodules like Wayland might have their own and that shouldn't hinder
CI testing of GTK.
Disable -Werror for the wayland submodule, and let it be fixed independently
at some point.
The gnome-runtime-images have been recently migrated to Quay. This is already reflected in the template.
