Update: Thanks very much to a responsive and helpful upstream, my patch to adjust the build system again was accepted, so for sure 2021.01 will be easy to package. If someone wants to package 2020.12 sooner, they should grab a git snapshot after this point: https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/meshlab/commit/b3d10763863a216adf581e6a771cbae66e03648f There is docs in the get-orig-sources.sh script on how to pull a commit hash instead of a tag.
