One thing that would be cool to know is whether it is limited to "configure".
Ports can currently be annotated with nojunk for dpb, which leads to dpb
refusing to junk ports during the full build.
adding meson as full "nojunk" might be impractical, there are currently
222 meson ports as
select count(distinct(pkgpath)) from _modules join _modulekeys on
keyref=_modules.value join paths on pathid=_modules.fullpkgpath where
_modulekeys.value='devel/meson';
shows
including a few fairly common dependencies which may slow down dpb a great
deal.
I realize I already added support code to dpb, though that is not
documented because it's not been used and tested so far.
DPB_PROPERTIES = noconfigurejunk
might be what meson ports might need!
