Understood. Let's work on getting the Open vSwitch portions of pmtu.sh, and openvswitch.sh into a little bit better shape. Then we can consider moving the contents of tools/.../net/openvswitch/. It would certainly be nice to have the Open vSwitch tests run automatically. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
