+<PageMetadata title={frontMatter.seo_title} />
+
+The [xPack Meson Build](https://xpack-dev-tools.github.io/meson-build-xpack/)
+is a standalone cross-platform binary distribution of
+[Meson Build](https://mesonbuild.org).
+
+There are separate binaries for **Windows** (x64),
+**macOS** (x64 and arm64)
+and **GNU/Linux** (x64 and arm64).
+
+:::note Raspberry Pi
+
+The main targets for the GNU/Linux Arm
+binaries are the **Raspberry Pi** class devices (aarch64 only;
+armv6 and armv7l are no longer supported).
+
+:::
+
+## Download
+
+The binary files can be downloaded automatically with **xpm** or manually
+from <a href={frontMatter.download_url}>GitHub Releases</a>.
+
+<Prerequisites/>
+
+## Install
+
+The easiest way to install this specific version, is by using **xpm**:
+
+<CodeBlock language="console"> {
+`xpm install @xpack-dev-tools/meson-build@${frontMatter.version}.${frontMatter.npm_subversion} --verbose
+`} </CodeBlock>
+
+Comprehensive instructions for installing **xPack xPack Meson Build** on different platforms
+can be found in the [Install Guide](/docs/install/).
+
+## Compliance
+
+The **xPack Meson Build** is based on the official
+[Meson Build](https://mesonbuild.org) sources.
+
+The current version is based on:
+
+- Meson Build release
+[{frontMatter.meson_version}](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/releases/tag/{frontMatter.meson_version}) from {frontMatter.meson_release_date}.
+
+## Changes
+
+Compared to the upstream version, there are no functional changes.
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+- none
+
+## Enhancements
+
+- none
+
+## Known problems
+
+- none
+
+## Embedded Python
+
+To simplify dependency management, this release embeds a **Python
+{frontMatter.python_version}.{frontMatter.python_subversion}** instance.
+
+The `meson` executable is a standard ELF/EXE which includes the Python
+run-time; the `main()` function prepares the Python environment and then
+invokes the Meson main:
+
+```python
+  PyRun_SimpleString("from mesonbuild import mesonmain\n");
+  PyRun_SimpleString("sys.exit(mesonmain.main())\n");
+```
+
+The Python library is located in the standard location:
+
+- <code>lib/python{frontMatter.python_version}</code>
+- <code>lib/python{frontMatter.python_version}/lib-dynload</code> (the platform dependent files)
+
+The Meson files are located in:
+
+- <code>lib/python{frontMatter.python_version}/mesonbuild</code>
+
+To speed up execution, all Python files are compiled and are
+available only as `.pyc`.
+
+## Documentation
+
+The original documentation is available from:
+
+- https://mesonbuild.com/Manual.html
+
+## Build
+
+The binaries for all supported platforms
+(Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux) were built using the
+[xPack Build Box (XBB)](https://xpack.github.io/xbb/), a set
+of build environments based on slightly older distributions, that should be
+compatible with most recent systems.
+
+For the prerequisites and more details on the build procedure, please see the
+[Maintainer Info](/docs/maintainer/) page.
+
+## CI tests
+
+Before publishing, a set of simple tests were performed on an exhaustive
+set of platforms. The results are available from:
+
+- [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/meson-build-xpack/actions/)
