(Meson is the *latest* build system > used in the project, not the default). Right now Meson is still considered experimental, as there are still some things missing compared to our Makefiles. I will address those missing pieces this release cycle, and once done our Makefile and Meson build instructions will both be considered officially supported ways to build Git. > >  Is there a plan to remove autotools? > > At present there are no such plans. There are no plans to remove our Makefile right now, but there is intent to remove autotools once Meson reaches feature parity with our Makefile. It will probably still be a couple releases before that happens, and we of course still have to make the final decision to actually go through with the removal. But it likely is to happen in the not-too-distant future. Patrick
