[snip imgui]
imgui seems to be the first instance of someone pasting a sizeable third
party library into the repo. I'm not sure how everyone feels about
that. Unfortunately it seems like imgui isn't packaged by any distros
that I can see either.
Maybe we could do some meson wrap magic or something to pull it in
without having to commit the code.
Copying seems to be the main way anybody is using it. Are you suggesting
a submodule?
Right, something like making a 'wrap' for imgui that can go download and
build the source:

Really no idea if this is a great or terrible idea though. Dylan might
have a better idea.

I'm really not thrilled with the idea of pulling such a large fast moving
project into the tree either, though there is president, we have gtest in tree
already.
A wrap might be a good way to build it it, especially for an optional tool that
distros aren't expected to package. I wonder if upstream would take a meson
build
specifically for this purpose? Would you like me to follow up with them and see
if that would be an option (meson feels [rightly] that it's preferable to try to
get a meson build into the upstream project before adding it to wrapdb)?

I'll ask but it seems the ImGui project is really not meant to be
packaged like most software we find in Linux distros.
There are a few glue example to work on various versions window systems
and OpenGL/Vulkan, but these are just meant as examples.
It's expected whoever uses it will embedded it in its project and tweak
the few things it needs (either event plumbing or adding new
colors-scheme/widgets).
In our case, I wrote the Gtk3 backend, I'm pretty sure there is little
interest in having it upstream.
