patch 'build: use builtin helper for python dependencies' has been queued to stable release 23.11.2

[Xueming Li]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 23.11.2

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 08/14/24. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/log/?h=23.11-staging

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=23.11-staging&id=acdd88c4f93a048ba306961b39175e8e0ac922cb

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] build: use builtin helper for python dependencies
Cc: Xueming Li <xuemingl at nvidia.com>

[ upstream commit 9ab7baa5c14b1ba928c09bda4734827d6d367d6b ]

We now require Meson 0.53 or later, so we can use this feature introduced
in 0.51.
This also fixes a build failure on SUSE Leap 15.6 where the manual check
fails to detect the pyelftools module.
