If you want to temporarily disable, that would be fine with me. I will try to see if I can get something finished by the deadline. Thanks and sorry for the delay.
Hi Jim: It is good to hear that you anticipate finishing something large by the deadline for pushing large changes to master despite your other time commitments. I am sure we all look forward to testing whatever you can come up with. Just to clarify, as release manager I like our release deadlines to be fairly flexible to keep the release process reasonably friendly and encouraging for our developers. So if you have something that is honestly almost ready to go, I am not going to be too hard-nosed about that deadline which is supposed to be September 19th IIRC. Thus, if we delayed that deadline to September 26th it would not kill us. However, if it turns out you cannot be done with some big change by that date I will probably say "mature your work on a private topic branch and be ready to push it to master at the very start of the next release cycle" in the interest of getting this next release out the door with sufficent time allowed to do the required iterated bug fixing and comprehensive testing for all the big changes (such as the recent wxwidgets changes) already in this release. After the official freeze on large changes being pushed to master is in effect (likely either September 19th or 26th from the above discussion) then if plmeta still does not build at that stage, I will completely disable plmeta (by commenting it out of cmake/modules/drivers-init.cmake). For now as a matter of convenience for you in getting rid of this plmeta build issue I will leave it as disabled by default (i.e., you can still attempt to build plmeta if you specify -DPLD_plmeta=ON or -DDEFAULT_ALL_DEVICES=ON).
