GStreamer relies on multiple repositories such as base and good to build its ecosystem, and now owns more than 30 projects in Gitlab. So, a unified tool/build system has always been necessary to build a specified version. Since GStreamer 1.18, the Meson based gst-build has been implemented to replace gst-uninstalled and provide a quick and smooth environment to hack into GStreamer and its dependencies.
