We already solved some pieces (e.g, how to consume and use Meson, while following our internal legal process required for adding new 3rd party dependencies), and figured a way to consume Meson build without having to migrate lots of internal build logic from Scons to Meson. But other stuff just keeps getting higher priority, and we haven't fully migrated.
Please do understand, SCons just works for us. We are making progress with Meson. It's just not the highest priority, when time is short, it gets deferred. I don't understand the rush. If it was trivial and easy we'd obviously would have done it.

I think it's been years. Maybe that's because I don't work on GL anymore? In any case, I don't know that it's really costing us that much given that basically none of the drivers actually build with it. But fat meh, I guess. --Jason On February 25, 2020 21:56:30 Rob Clark <robdcl...@gmail.com> wrote: > It looks like we have 4 scons build jobs in CI..
