To create a distribution package with meson you run
`meson dist -C <your_build_dir>`
This will collect all git tracked files and pack them into an archive.
There is no way to collect version information for that.
So now the base version stands in the VERSION file. To relase a flashrom
version you change that file and tag the changing commit.
When building from git the git version is embedded in the flashrom
binary. E.g.:
flashrom 1.4.0-devel (git:v1.2-1172-g7f186838) on Linux 6.1.3 (x86_64)

These build instructions are mostly based on `Documentation/building.md`
and the wiki.
There are some `.. todo::` sections still present in the
documentation. They will be completed later. For some of the todos
content needs to be written, some others require custom sphinx-plugins
to be implemented.
The `.. todo::` sections are only visible in the source, not in the
rendered html.

This adds a parameter to drive the aux pin low (or high if you
explicitly want the previous behavior). Some boards need to have a reset
pin driven low before the firmware can be safely flashed. With the Bus
Pirate, this is most easily done with the auxiliary pin.

Debian Bullseye, current stable release, ships only with meson 0.56.2.
To go back to an older meson version pass the project_version info as
parameter to `sphinx-build` instead of using an environment variable.
This is done by overriding the `release` variable in conf.py with
`-Drelease=meson.project_version()` at the command line call.

Use sphinx (sphinx-doc.org) to generate the UNIX man page from an
reStructuredText file instead of dealing with plain groff.
Use `meson setup -Dman-pages=enabled` to build the man page, and
`meson setup -Ddocumentation=enabled` to build the web documentation
explicitly. Both are enabled automatically if sphinx-build is found.
The man page will be installed as `<meson_mandir>/man8/flashrom.8` and
The html documentation in <meson_datadir>/doc/flashrom/html`.
The Makefile builds only the man-page format.
Increase the minimum version of meson from 0.53.0 to 0.57.0 to be
able to pass environment variables to the custom_target() command. That
is needed to pass the FLASHROM_VERSION to the documentation.
