Our build systems are not our biggest problem. Meson, or SCons, or others,
could be good if we were starting a new project. We aren't. We are
maintaining one we poorly understand.


I agree the build system is not our biggest problem.
My build Problems are substantial. It blocks all other activities I want to do.

Porting to Meson will not be any easier than porting to gbuild. Writing
gbuild code becomes easy with practice. *Understanding* dmake / build.lst /
d.lst is hard...


So you are now a fan of gbuild? ;).

Moving python would be a huge step forward towards getting rid of dmake
as it seems to be required for any alternative build system (other than gbuild which of course would require it to build with gbuild anyways).
What do you mean by this?

All the best
Peter
