What's up with the nix-meson-build-support folders ?
It’s just a helper for deduplicating shared meson code. Since meson only allows importing shared code via subdirs from the subdirectory it gets in-repo symlinked to all subprojects. There isn’t a much better way to deduplicate code AFAIK with meson.

Awesome news! Is there someone from the Nix core team on deck to make the nixpkgs PR, or would you like community support from (say) me there?
You mean for the update? John did it

@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92However you can bump latest if you want 14:01:30
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): things like gen_header have to be redeclared for each subproject? 14:37:07
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Well, yeah. There’s also /export which does pkgconf file generation and common stuff like enabling warnings. Since componentized builds actually don’t have any subprojects there isn’t any other way to do that.14:41:46
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria

Well, yeah.
I'll play with it; that sounds crazy for each subproject to redlcare thing but /shrug
