The commit8442ac9c02set install_tag option to install_emptydir() calls, but it requires meson-0.62.0. Hence, after the commit, we cannot build systemd with older meson anymore. As using install_tag is quite useful for building systemd package, let's bump the requirement of meson version to 0.62.0. Note, the current meson versions of major distributions are: CentOS 9: 0.63.3 CentOS 10: 1.4.1 Fedora 40: 1.4.1 Fedora 41: 1.5.1 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal): 0.53.2 -- EOL on 2025-04 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (jammy): 0.61.2 -- EOL on 2027-04 Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (noble): 1.3.2 Ubuntu 24.10 (oracular): 1.5.2 Debian 11 (bullseye): 0.56.2 (1.0.0 in backports) -- EOL on 2024-08 Debian 12 (bookworm): 1.0.1 (1.5.1 in backports) openSUSE Leap 15.6: 1.6.1 openSUSE Tumbleweed: 1.6.1 As the next version (v258) is not expected to be released before the end of 2025-04, it is OK to cut the support of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Debian 11. Also, our policy for support of distributions explicitly says only latest Ubuntu LTS and non-LTS releases are supported. Hence, we can also cut Ubuntu 22.04, even if it is not EOL. Follow-up for8442ac9c02. Closes #35967.
