Meson is a build system, currently implemented in Python, with multiple
output backends, including Ninja and Make. The build file syntax is
clean and easy to read unlike autotools. In practise, configuring and
building with Meson and Ninja has been observed to be much faster than
with autotools. Also cross-building support is excellent.

Since moving to Meson requires some changes from users in any case, we
took this opportunity to revamp build options. Most of the build options
still exist, some have changed names or more, and a few have been
dropped. The option to choose the Cairo flavour is not implemented since
for the longest time the Cairo image backend has been the only
recommended one.
This Meson build should be fully functional and it installs everything
an all-enabled autotools build does. Installed pkg-config files have
some minor differences that should be insignificant. Building of some
developer documentation that was never installed with autotools is
missing.
It is expected that the autotools build system will be removed soon
after the next Weston release.

Remoting plugin support streaming image of virtual output on drm-backend
to remote output. By appending remote-output section in weston.ini,
weston loads remoting plugin module and creates virtual outputs via
remoting plugin. The mode, host, and port properties are configurable in
remote-output section.
This plugin send motion jpeg images to client via RTP using gstreamer.
Client can receive by using following pipeline of gst-launch.
gst-launch-1.0 rtpbin name=rtpbin \
udpsrc caps="application/x-rtp,media=(string)video,clock-rate=(int)90000,
encoding-name=JPEG,payload=26" port=[PORTNUMBER] !
rtpbin.recv_rtp_sink_0 \
rtpbin. ! rtpjpegdepay ! jpegdec ! autovideosink \
udpsrc port=[PORTNUMBER+1] ! rtpbin.recv_rtcp_sink_0 \
rtpbin.send_rtcp_src_0 !
udpsink port=[PORTNUMBER+2] sync=false async=false
where, PORTNUMBER is specified in weston.ini.
