I looked at the patch and I have no idea what it does. Your PR description should at least answer questions such as

  • What commands should be invoked to notice the usefulness of the new log
  • What kind of message is hard to find in meson-log.txt

What it does is saving in a file logs as they are printed on the terminal. meson-log.txt often contains too many info which makes it hard to read and logs printed on the terminal can be lost. It creates builddir/meson-logs/meson-setup.txt file.

@dabrain34 a releases notes snippet would help clarify what this does, otherwise nobody will notice this.
