Hi Bruce,

I was trying something along the lines of:

meson configure -Ddisable_drivers=3Dnet/* -Denable_drivers=3Dnet/i40e

But it seems that enable_drivers does not override disable_drivers. =
Ninja says:

[...]
net/hinic:      not in enabled drivers build config
net/hns3:       not in enabled drivers build config
net/i40e:       explicitly disabled via build config
net/iavf:       not in enabled drivers build config
[...]

Could you please fix that?

Also, since all sorts of exotic libraries are continuously being added =
to DPDK, it would be nice to have a similar Meson option for libs, i.e. =
enable_libs to override disable_libs=3D*.


Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards,
