I wondered about that. I guess adding to DEPEND via eclass is bad then. |

That has been my experience why I brought it up. |

That is not that long and seems to favor heavily in ninjas favor. Seems |
| 46 |
considerably more have no issues with ninja than make. |

Thanks for that information! |

For new projects I do not want a deb or rpm I like meson + |
| 57 |
ninja. For all other stuff I prefer cmake + ninja. Kinda best of both |
| 58 |
worlds. At least till meson can spit out deb and rpm, not just rpm spec. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
I also like how cmake updates po files. Not sure about pot file, meson |
| 61 |
does have something there, and can update them. Just a separate |
| 62 |
process. cmake updates po all the time, I like that :) |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
But either way meson or cmake, ninja is the main speed for compiling. |
| 65 |
Though I do like the cmake make output formatting and color, etc. |
