meson plugin uses internet access during build, instead of pull
Metadata
Current evaluation
Meson plugin runs pip install during build instead of pull, causing network access issues. Open, unassigned, and untriaged. Author plans to manually override the plugin to move package installation to the pull stage.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is over 4 years old with zero maintainer interaction or comments. The author already documented a manual workaround, and the plugin architecture has likely evolved significantly since then, making the reported behavior irrelevant to current versions. It meets the criteria for closure due to staleness and lack of ongoing relevance.

Issue body
meson plugin uses internet access during build, instead of pull
It generates build command:
/usr/bin/python3 -m pip install -U {meson_package}
Ideally that should be pulled-in during pull stage
I think I will have to unroll meson plugin, and do what it does by hand, such that I can shuffle `pip install` during override-pull, instead of during build.
As I am running out of network access time during riscv builds with meson.
