It seems I too was probably off my shoes: I initially missed that
use-system-fmt was added by one of the patches we had.

Oh, I just realised you are the upstream. Great, thanks for keeping
kmsxx up-to-date in Buildroot! 👍

I see it's in master now.

Ah, I only looked at meson_options.txt.

Usually, a version bump does not need much explanations, so your commit
log would have been pretty OK. But when options get removed, it's nice
to have a little blurb about it, if just to acknowledge the removal was
intentional.

The thing is, if pybind11 is not available in the system, then kmsxx
will build its bundled version when pykms is enabled.

So, by forcibly disabling pykms in Buildroot, this means that pybind11
is not needed and thus the bundled version is not built.

I am by far not a meson expert, so when you say "the fallback-to-subproject
can be managed with meson commandline options", I'd be much interested
in hos to do that, so that in Buildrot we know how to forcibly forbid
bundled sub-projects (or wraps?) to be used...

Thanks afain for your patches! :-)

Yann E. MORIN.
