Given the depends
depends=('foo>=1.2-1.par2')
and the error message
==> ERROR: pkgver in depends is not allowed to contain colons, forward slashes, hyphens or whitespace.
One would be lead to believe that the problem is that they gave a pkgrel in
depends at all, not that the pkgrel contains letters.
Each of the (check,make,opt)depends, conflicts, and provides linters use a
glob to trim off properly formed epoch an rel from the full version string,
and pass the remainder to check_pkgver(). This does a good job of
accepting/rejecting full versions, but doesn't do a good job of generating
good error messages when rejecting if it's because of the epoch or rel.
1. Factor out check_epoch() and check_pkgrel() from lint_epoch() and
lint_pkgrel(), similarly to check_pkgver().
2. Add a check_fullpkgver() that takes a full [epoch:]ver[-rel] string and
splits it in to epoch/ver/rel, and calls the appropriate check_ function
on each.
3. Use check_fullpkgver() in the {,check,make,opt}depends, conflicts, and
provides linters.

Provide both build systems in parallel for now, to ensure that we work
out all the differences between the two. Some time from now, we'll give
up on autotools.
Meson tends to be faster and probably easier to read/maintain. On my
machine, the full meson configure+build+install takes a little under
half as long as a similar autotools-based invocation.
Building with meson is a two step process. First, configure the build:
meson build
Then, compile the project:
ninja -C build
There's some mild differences in functionality between meson and
autotools. specifically:
1) No singular update-po target. meson only generates individual
update-po targets for each textdomain (of which we have 3). To make
this easier, there's a build-aux/update-po script which finds all
update-po targets and runs them.
2) No 'make dist' equivalent. Just run 'git archive' to generate a
suitable tarball for distribution.
