> It's very simple to setup raylib as a dependency with meson's wrapdb. This package doesn't make much sense for building some games that need raylib because we would soon have to have multiple raylib versions at the same time. It also doesn't make sense for development because there you want to develop with one version and not worry about it changing under your hands.

Thank you for taking the time to review my PR, and for the feedback. You are absolutely right about the API changes. I do agee that games built on raylib are best off statically linking. But for new developers, experimenting with the library, don't the releases make sense? As far as I can see new releases come out ~6months and upstream encourages users to use their distros version if possible. And indeed [several other distros do package it](https://repology.org/project/raylib/versions). Perhaps there is some utility to new developers who want to rely on versioned releases?

> I do not think this is a good fit for a void package.
However, I am very happy to admit my inexperience in this area, so please feel free to close the PR if this is not sensible and there is no way to make it work. Thank you for your time.
