Using meson. Should hopefully make it easier for downstream maintainers to get started, so that we might get sage back in Fedora/Ubuntu/...

I don't have any packaging experience myself, so please make suggestions!

  • Replace the accent mark around PURLs with a proper backtick to form an inline code literal: PURLs.
The `external` section follows `PEP 725 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0725/>`_ and specifies dependencies in the form of ̀PURLs.

[nitpick] The new chapter title “Modularized Distribution” may be too generic; consider a more descriptive title like “Packaging the Sage Library for Distribution” to clarify its purpose.

Suggested change
Modularized Distribution
Packaging the Sage Library for Distribution
