1 All,
2
3 I have been looking at the meson build system [1] [2], and I like what I
4 see.

6 I have opened an issue on OpenRC's github wrt migrating OpenRC to the
7 meson build system [3].

9 As I said on the bug, the downside is the addition of py3 and ninja as
10 build time dependencies, but I think the upside (a build system where
11 we don't have to worry about parallel make issues or portability)
12 outweighs that.
13
14 What do folks think here?

16 Thanks,
