+ if there is interest in principle, we can seek independent funding for a
prototype
+ prototype would make it easier to evaluate benefits
+ Ilmari’s perspective: want to make the codebase more approachable for
newcomers
+ understand that we don’t want to drop something that works already
(Ilmari)
+ not yet asking for a decision, but please think about this
+ what problem does this solve? (Kendy)
+ usually LO breaks the tools
+ GNOME / wayland is moving to this from autotools (Ilmari)
+ sitting on the fence (Thorsten)
+ significant cost to migrate to anything
+ there are load of unsolved problems with the build system, though
+ would not be great to pay some external developers to do the migration
and then let us maintain it (Stephan)
+ agreed (Kendy, Cloph)
+ better spend funding money elsewhere (Kendy)
+ e.g. external libs that can’t build in parallel
