I'm trying to build a codebase (with Meson), and it's yelling at me that I don't have libhandy. I found this question, but all links and PPAs mentioned there seem to be dead.

I need libhandy 1.0.0 or greater, and I'm on Ubuntu 20.04. How can I install it (in such a way that it will get picked up by a build system like pkgconfig)?

Of course the PPA is there. I maintain it. I had initially copied the source package from Groovy, and built it in Launchpad (right now, it uses libhandy 1.4 packaged by Panda Jim). I have verified that it works (I used this package in Blanket's PPA, as a dependency of Blanket). The PPA also hosts packages for armhf, arm64 and ppc64el.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1/libhandy-1

sudo apt update

Then install the package (e.g. libhandy-1-0, libhandy-1-dev) you need.

The PPA has been updated to version 1.4 of libhandy (thanks to the efforts of Panda Jim).
