You might want to use a meson_options.txt feature option for this. That would allow people to specify -Ddoc=disabled and force disable trying to detect pandoc or build anything with it.

I guess I'd like to land an initial basic version first, before starting with customization and optimizations.
Thank you very much for your hints, though, those are very welcome!

... and then you can skip this warning, because people who absolutely want the docs can configure it with enabled, people who are okay gracefully degrading can configure it with auto, and people who absolutely don't want a pandoc dependency can disable it and not get a big yellow warning.

Thank you for all your comments! I'm going to merge this once all the tests passed. |
Description
Adding a Meson build environment in addition to the plain
Makefilenetplan is using currently.The new build system should be able to support all the Makefile's features and implement them in a more standard conform way. Furthermore, using Meson we'll be able to extend the build-time features more easily in the future, like implementing build-time options and properly acknowledging dpkg buildflags (hardening/LTO/...).
Meson is easy to use, here are some sample commands, to do the usual netplan stuff:
All things are done inside the build directory, specified during the
meson setupcommand ("build" in the example above), except the code generated insrc/_features.handpython/_features.py, that is still inside the source directory.Checklist
