Hi all, These past few months I have been porting some libraries and applications to meson build system[0], within the "MesonPorting" initiative[1] that tries to port packages under GNOME umbrella to meson. As you may know, meson is a new build system which offers some benefits over autotools, of which I would like to highlight the following: it's very user friendly and usually, faster. The fact that NetworkManager is quite large, and due to the effort it would require to port it to meson, I would like to know if including meson as build system could be interesting. Please let me know any comment or suggestion you may have. Thanks! [0] http://mesonbuild.com/ [1] https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/MesonPorting
Hi, it seems that meson could significantly speed up the build, which would be a very interesting thing to have. Yes, we want to port to meson, but due to the amount of work, nobody started doing that (yet). Patches very welcome! best, Thomas
