[QE-users] Pseudo generation for meta-GGAs

Hello everyone, 

I'm trying to do some stress calculations with R2SCAN, and the results are pretty bad using PBE pseudos instead of proper SCAN pseudos as it's been discussed on this forum before. I got some pseudos from Yi Yao's repo [ https://yaoyi92.github.io/scan-tm-pseudopotentials.html | https://yaoyi92.github.io/scan-tm-pseudopotentials.html ] which work pretty good, however I'm running into the problem that I'm missing the pseudo for one of the elements in my system, namely Zr. So, I'm trying to get into pseudo generation to make one for Zr, but the codes I've been able to run so far (ONCVPSP and QE's ld1.x) don't support meta XCs at least on their default branches. 

Summing up I'm asking if there's a branch of QE's ld1.x where meta XCs are allowed? From what I've tested, the all electron SCF calculation runs well, so I guess it's the " gener_pseudo " routine which has not been adapted to metas? Are there any plans to do it? If not, can anyone suggest alternatives? 

Thanks in advance and best regards,
