I put forth the patch in the first place because the instructions on the Pacman website (master branch), if followed, place the artifacts in `build/`. Other newcomers to the project like me would hit the same thing, so some automated solution would be nice.If I may propose an alternative, this seems like an ideal use for .../pacman/.git/info/exclude. For those who don't know, .git/info/exclude is a secondary gitignore file not under version control. It is specifically for files that shouldn't be ignored at the project level, but that an individual developer or user might want to ignore--such as for build artifacts in non-standardized places, or your personal wrapper scripts for testing whatever you're working on.
I do this in $HOME/.config/git/ignore since this pattern is shared by multiple meson-using projects and I can't imagine "builddir/" being actually used for non build artifacts.
Still would be nice to autogenerate this on meson's side. I'm discussing it with them...
