meson and ninja come in pair, and: |
| 31 |
systemd already depends on both |
| 32 |
openrc wants to switch to meson. |
| 33 |
many xorg parts depend on meson |
| 34 |
mesa & co depends on meson |
| 35 |
cmake-utils.eclass defaults to ninja as default makefile generator for EAPI=7 |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
those are damn good reasons for inclusion, those tools becoming essential. |
| 38 |
and it's only couple of lines of text, not a big deal. |
| 39 |
and the lines are not shown if package in question is not installed. |

having rust in output of initial --info also can be quite handy as recent |
| 42 |
cargo/rust issue showed but yeah, pkg_info probably could deal with that for |
| 43 |
now at least. not a very popular ebuild function, never knew it existed. |

Thanks Kent for pointing it out. |
