[OpenWrt-Devel] Meson/Ninja build system

[Daniel Engberg]

Hi,

I think the cmake.mk-link approach would be a good idea and given 
previous discussions the plan is afaik to pull in Ninja first and once 
that's confirmed working via CMake add support for Meson. Having a look 
at https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0537/#lifespan it seems like a 
good idea to stick with 3.7?

As for OpenWrt, there are already files with hard dependency of python3 
dating back to 2015 doing a quick grep of the source tree.

(added recently)

There are also upstream projects like wireless-db that doesn't 
compile/build cleanly with vanilla 2.7

Best regards,
Daniel
