Description : Meson-compatible build system
muon is an implementation of the Meson build system in c99 with
minimal dependencies.
.
It uses libpkgconf for dependency discovery, and is close to
feature-complete with the core of Meson for C and C++.
While still not "stable", muon is capable of compiling quite complex C and C++
projects, and being written in C99 it can greatly help with bootstrappability
when compared to Meson's dependency on a Python interpreter and standard
library.
The upstream name is "muon", but this package and /usr/bin/ name is already
used by KDE Muon, a [dead] synaptic alternative.
I'm not sure how to handle this conflict; naming the Debian package "muon-
meson" or "muon-build" seems fine, but renaming the "muon" binary might be less
desirable.
