I'm wondering whether that will result in expending a lot of effort to move from a poorly-supported build system to a different poorly-supported build system. As a project, we have an astonishingly poor track record for choosing outside projects to rely on :-(. One thing I particularly dislike about Meson, after reading its wikipedia entry for a moment, is that it doesn't use "make" as the backend build system. That means two major tooling changes not one, and double the opportunity to find ourselves stuck with unsupported infrastructure. I also politely decline the offer to be forced to use XCode on mac. regards, tom lane
