That makes sense. OTOH, how is it going to work as far as applying / pulling / etc. goes? I know that the DPDK related work is planning on going with a pull-request model. Does that mean this patch is applied to your branch and you will submit a pull request with it at some point? How about work that builds on this patch? As an example, https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-July/335250.html I'd like to submit my latest work for this series, but not sure where or how. -Aaron _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
