Re: python-dbus-python changes triggered many rebuilds

[Sharlatan Hellseher <sharlatanus@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I've canceled the pending builds.

Sorry it was me, not expected that order of the same inputs would trigger the
build.

The reasoning was to refactor the indentation and higlight that
python-meson-python has to be replaced by meson-python.

Thanks,
Oleg
