[Meson-devel] Next steps

[Jussi P. <jpa...@gm...>]

Hi

Now that Meson is released, I'd like to outline the roadmap for the
near future. These are the things that are planned currently:

1. Preserve config status on regeneration

When you regenerate a project, it destroys all existing data. Add code
to serialize this state to disk and reread it when regenerating.

2. Make Meson installable

Currently Meson only works when run from its source directory. Make it
installable so it can be packaged and thus included to distros.

3. Add coverage support

Coverage reports are an integral part of modern sw development. Meson
needs to provide those automatically.

4. Add support for code generation programs.

It is common to build an executable and then use that executable to
generate fresh source code which is then added to a target. Add
support for this functionality.
