@fossdd: I went ahead with converting to using the bootstrap script (f468997bb429), which also allows us to run the muon tests (5e5b1eb04d01).
Please let me know if you're unhappy with this change :)

@fossdd: thanks! any objection if I also update the package to use the bootstrapped muon instead of meson?

Hey @1ace,

i've added you now as a co-maintainer for this package.

Currently i'm busy and could'nt apply your patch.

Thank you for helping.

Hi @fossdd!
Could you change these two lines, so that everything upstream wants gets included in this package?
Right now this simply adds the missing man pages.
Thanks :)

Btw, if you're looking for someone to help maintain this package, feel free to add me as a co-maintainer :)

Right now this also build-time depends on python-yaml. Without it, I get

@aperez: The patch is good, but do you know what can we do to get this package to use it? Should you/I create a new one, calling it like muon-samurai-git?

@pyxel: You are right, Ninja is not needed at all and I have this patch applied locally to bootstrap Muon—it also enables the internal copy of Samurai, to have a full self-contained build tool that doesn't require other tools.

It would be great if @fossdd could apply the patch :)

Is there a reason why meson is required when muon can bootstrap itself?
