Description orbea 2023-10-06 18:18:30 UTC 
Would it be a good idea to have an app-alternatives/ninja for choosing between dev-util/ninja and dev-util/samurai? There are a few packages that require a "ninja" binary to be found within the user's $PATH, for example dev-lang/rust when using a vendored llvm with USE=-system-llvm.

To my knowledge samurai is entirely conformant except for a few packages that use cmake + fortran which requires dyndeps support which is not yet supported, for example sci-libs/lapack, but the cmake Make generator works in those cases.

See: https://github.com/michaelforney/samurai/issues/36

Reproducible: Always
