I'm afraid your patch series again is not properly organized. You
continue to mix version bumps with build fixes. This is not good at
all, as it prevents our LTS maintainers from doing their job. Please
stop doing this, and provide fixes *then* bumps.

So I've changed this series to:

- Fix all 3 packages to use a .gz tarball (the issue exists in 2025.02)
- Fix the build issues, including some more that I discovered
- Bump matchbox-lib to 1.14

Could you please try to remember about this policy of providing fixes
separately from bumps?

Of course an exception is when the problem doesn't exist in a
maintained stable branch, in that case it's fine to provide a bump as a
fix.

Thanks for your contribution!

Thomas
