Hi Martin Thiago, Thanks for you agreement and your sniff test via the re-compile.
Tiago (I have to watch the "h" to keep you distinct :-) ) and I were in contact. For now I'm flushing out many issues in dpdk itself and our code bundled in packaging towards Xenial release. Also DPDK upstream makes some major changes to e.g. the combined library linking which will affect packaging a lot. So we agreed that we will take a deeper look at it a bit later this year to avoid re-doing it all over so soon after. For now - open to all - we are still looking for an experienced DD to help us then and in general for someone with upload rights.
