Hi all,
For some of you that have missed it there's a discussion (of sorts)
whether we should use meson to build Mesa.
Thread starts here [1], with libdrm as "learning exercise".
Feel free to chime-in [be that here or in-reply to the thread], even
if you feel overwhelmed by some of the strong opinions in there - be
that mine or not.
Disclaimer: There's finders pointed and people bashing autotools with
limited [imho] technical details/reasoning.
Fwiw I'm not excited about autotools and our our three build systems,
despite that doing most of the heavy lifting over the last years
[after "taking over" from Matt].
Then again, I'm not convinced that meson is the solution we're looking for.
