Hi! I think some people here do not like meson because it depends on Python and thus pulls in a couple dependencies/takes longer to build. Other people thought so too, so they implemented a meson-like tool called muon, written in C. It is already packaged as devel/muon and is supposedly enough to build e.g. devel/pkgconf. So if you using muon instead of meson scratches an itch you have, please test it out a bit; perhaps we can use it as a (partial?) replacement for building meson packages (perhaps using similar switches to CMAKE_GENERATOR/CMAKE_GENERATORS_INCOMPATIBLE). Cheers, Thomas
