There is a patch series on the mailing list that I haven't applied because of lack of people having the time or the interest to look at it. You can look the patches on the mailing list (http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/lng-odp/2014-November/004873.html and http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/lng-odp/2014-November/004966.html). /Ciprian >> >> Best regards, >> Maxim. >> >> >> On 01/21/2015 07:44 AM, Prashant Upadhyaya wrote: >>> >>> >>> Hi, >>> >>> In v0.2 the packet socket and netmap backends were part of the main >>> repository. >>> >>> Now I see that there is a ‘main’ repository whose linux generic backend >>> has packet sockets. >>> >>> Netmap has gone into a different repository. >>> >>> Now my question is – is the ODP-Netmap a standalone repo i.e when I build >>> it and link it with my application I don’t need the libraries from what I >>> call the main repo for which versions like v0.7, v0.8 etc. are being >>> released ? >>> >>> If ODP-Netmap is indeed a standalone repo, then I expect that it should >>> be tagged as well in lock step with the main repo releases so that if my >>> application is compliant with main repo v0.X, then I need to have a >>> corresponding tag in the ODP-Netmap which is also compliant with v0.X, so >>> that my application can build against ODP-Netmap seamlessly.
