Good description of the problem and motivation. You should add just one line about what you did in the patch, like about adding a solution to the issue in a troubleshooting section. > > Signed-off-by: Vedant Paranjape <vedantparanjape160201@gmail.com> > --- <1> > README.rst | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ > 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/README.rst b/README.rst > index 1427c714..fff67762 100644 > --- a/README.rst > +++ b/README.rst > @@ -104,3 +104,22 @@ onto the default video display element on your system. > gst-launch-1.0 libcamerasrc camera-name="Camera 1" ! videoconvert ! autovideosink > > .. section-end-getting-started > + > +Troubleshooting > +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > + > +Several users have reported issues with meson installation, crux of the issue is a potential version > +mismatch between the version that root uses, and the version that the normal user > +uses.

The content and structure looks good! I think it's just style that's left.

Changes in v6: * Updated README.rst to describe meson install issue * Removed "changelog" heading from commit message * Fixed few grammatical mistakes * Reworded few sentences * Added a new troubleshooting section in readme, and shifted meson issue to that section While installing meson using pip3 install --user meson, due to python path issues, build.ninja can't be located by ninja. meson generates ninja files fine, but then when you run ninja, it is unable to find meson's build.ninja python module due to path issues. It gives the following error on ninja -C build install: ninja: Entering directory `build' ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory After uninstalling meson using pip3 and installing it again using pip without --user argument solved the issue.
