From 9763bf65c6285176b578de71b0c3b8c14c72fdf2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nirbheek Chauhan Date: Sat, 29 Apr 2017 01:28:10 +0530 Subject: README: Don't recommend using as a standalone script zipapp only has a single entry point, so only the `meson` command will work. `mesontest`, `mesonconf`, `mesonintrospect` won't, which is terrible, really. Ideally we should have a single entry point for all these instead, but until that happens, we should not recommend zipapps. --- README.md | 15 --------------- 1 file changed, 15 deletions(-) (limited to 'README.md') diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 3c6c397..6e12b23 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -29,21 +29,6 @@ pip will download the package automatically).
