query options should not trigger cmake env inspection #24

Closed tkittel closed 11 months ago

tkittel commented 11 months ago

Currently using --pkginfo or --grep etc. options might trigger a CMake reinspection, which is not only surprising, but also should not be strictly needed. We should try to avoid it.

tkittel commented 11 months ago

The issue is of course that the packages in the output are coloured according to whether or not the package is enabled, which might depend on which external dependencies are present.

tkittel commented 11 months ago

Yeah, so there is no way around it, we do actually need the env inspection. Closing as invalid.
