Hi,
In order to build the Fedora RPM with DPDK some changes to the
spec file are required. However, I was told that not all users
want to build with DPDK or even have the DPDK libs installed. It
seems a fair request if you are working with OVS only.
Therefore we have two options.
1) add the option '--with dpdk' to the current spec file, so
that users that doesn't want DPDK just follow the usual steps
and that's it. DPDK users only need to pass those two arguments
to have the OVS+DPDK RPM files.
I think this option is best. This is the most straight forward way to
build OVS+DPDK.
2) Create another copy of .spec (openvswitch-dpdk.spec?) with DPDK
support enabled.
Another question is static versus shared linking.
Shared linking is best. That way the dpdk library is there if you need it.
My opinion is that we should go with (1), shared linked, but I don't
know if it covers all use-cases.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
fbl
