[libcamera-devel] [PATCH] meson: options: Disable pycamera by default

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

The libcamera Python bindings is still experimental and it relies on some
features in pybind11 that are not yet upstreamed, so a special branch has
to be downloaded as a subproject.

This conflicts with the build process used by most Linux distributions,
since there is expected that all the dependencies will be fulfilled by
-devel packages present in the build root.

To allow libcamera to be built by distros, let's disable the pycamera by
default. This can still be enabled with `meson build -Dpycamera=enabled`.
