Hi, Thanks for the suggestion and the basic information about Meson. I got a couple of questions: * How many packages in Debian are (or will in the near future) be using this build system? * What (build-)dependencies are required for building a package with Meson/ninja (beyond build-essential)? * Is it possible to reliably auto-detect if an upstream is using Meson like it is with other build systems such as autoconf+make? - If not, it can at best be a "manually invoked" build system. Thanks, ~Niels
