Dear Maintainer,

looking up Meson documentation online is sometimes slow, sometimes
impossible. It would be useful, if there is a meson-doc package
containing the documentation for offline use.

The attached patch does that. Since the documentation is not a part of
meson release tarballs, it adds a
debian/patches/add-meson-markdown-documentation-from-so.patch with all
the documentation. This is not an ideal solution, because the patch
would need to be updated for every release. So treat it as a proof of
concept.

I have verified (with debc) that after applying my patch, the meson
package remains exactly the same as without this patch.

Thank you
-Michal

I'd like to notice that Meson now ships a manpage containing all the
contents of the reference manual (meson-reference.3).

It is available from GitHub releases:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/releases

It doesn't make sense to use a patch to add the Meson documentation to
this source package. I wonder if a new source package providing Meson
documentation (because it is maintained separately) would be welcome? I
would be willing to prepare this, but as I am not a Debian Developer, I
will need a sponsor.
