expedite is basically dead. because it's out of tree and because it
was ported to eo too early... but it's also not a great tool given it
requires manual addition of engines and can't test elm stuff (complex
widgets).
so this is an elm based performance tool. i've added some tests (taken
from expedite and modified a bit). to get the ball rolling. the idea
is to add all the important core tests (rects, images, text, video
etc.) and then add widget/smart object like tests that go beyond what
expedite did. the problem with these tests is they are dependent on
theme. there isn't really any way around that... but i might
categorize tests in the end.
@feature
a new shiny buildtool that currently completes in the total of ~ 4 min..
1 min. conf time
2:30 min. build time
Where autotools takes:
1:50 min. conf time
3:40 min. build time.
meson was taken because it went quite good for enlightenment, and is a traction gaining system that is also used by other mayor projects. Additionally, the DSL that is defined my meson makes the configuration of the builds a lot easier to read.
Further informations can be gathered from the README.meson
Right now, bindings & windows support are missing.
It is highly recommented to use meson 0.48 due to optimizations in meson
that reduced the time the meson call would need.
