I agree we need to look into supporting this feature, but I think we need t= o get the new build system (if we are going to adopt it) to parity to our c= urrent build system first. We need to make sure we can build on the different distro as I ran into ver= sion issues with Ninja and Meson using Ubuntu 17.04. I had to upgrade Meson= to latest, which was not in 17.04 release :-( I think Bruce touched on this issue around eliminating or reducing greatly = the number of configuration options in our config file today. >=20 >=20 >=20 > --=20 > Christian Ehrhardt > Software Engineer, Ubuntu Server > Canonical Ltd Regards, Keith
