Hi,
If I recall correctly, the openvswitch-dpdk package was obsoleted
in 2016 in favor of having only one package with dpdk enabled.
Of course, upstream can decide whether it makes sense to follow
that or not.
Another thing is that openvswitch-fedora.spec should work much
better with RHEL-8 and RHEL-9. So, it would be better to just
run 'make rpm-fedora'.
One could use 'make rpm-fedora RPMBUILD_OPT="--with dpdk"' if
DPDK is needed.
Maybe these two specs could be deprecated altogether.
