Subject: [PATCH] meson: Fix docs generation with PyGObject 3.52
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

PyGObject 3.52 switched from gobject-introspection’s libgirepository 1.0
to glib’s libgirepository 2.0. As a result, the Python script would
no longer be able to find the `GIRepository` 2.0 typelib:

    (process:1944): GLib-GIRepository-DEBUG: 15:25:14.521: Ignoring GIRepository-2.0.typelib because this libgirepository corresponds to GIRepository-3.0.typelib

We could update the script to support both versions of the typelib
but it is not really necessary. It was only used to add extra directories
from `$LD_LIBRARY_PATH` and the CLI argument to repository’s library path
but libgirepository already supports using `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` directly:
