It claims to be "a ninja-compatible build tool" but I'm not sure what the comparative advantages are supposed to be. (Aside: If I wanted another build tool rewrite, it would probably be meson because it would actually be super interesting to have a meson generator that could be used for bootstrapping an OS without requiring python as a prerequisite.) > Outside of packaging, I have also been doing some exploratory work that > I hope will lead to finally moving Arch Linux from SVN to git. <3 > As a long time fan and user of Arch Linux, I'm looking forward to the > chance to give back to the community.

What are your thoughts on things like https://todo.sr.ht/%7Esircmpwn/scdoc/17 As you've mentioned scdoc, I recollect that it builds statically against libc, and ("by design") does not respect the makepkg.conf LDFLAGS -- we currently override this: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/scdoc#n16 -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
