Greg, thanks! You are exactly right. We standardized Orabuntu-LXC on 2.12.1 which fixed the problem because it's one of the release that has Aaron's patch built in. If end users want to use other versions, it's easy for them to reconfigure Orabuntu-LXC to do so. ________________________________ From: Gregory Rose <gvrose8...@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, November 16, 2020 10:48 AM To: Gilbert Standen <gilstan...@hotmail.com>; ovs-discuss@openvswitch.org <ovs-discuss@openvswitch.org> Subject: Re: [ovs-discuss] OVS 2.11.1 RPM build from source fails on Oracle Linux 7.8 and 7.9

Probably not - I haven't tried this or looked closely at the error but it looks like a header has been moved or changed in some way. The 'u8' type is fundamental to Linux so the header(s) that define it must have changed. You'll probably have to try a newer version of OVS. Is there some particular reason you need 2.11.1 specifically? - Greg > > Thanks, > > Gilbert Standen > Contributor Orabuntu-LXC > > > > > _______________________________________________ > discuss mailing list > disc...@openvswitch.org > https://eur05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.openvswitch.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fovs-discuss&data=04%7C01%7C%7Ca92119d3193748d1be3908d88a4f85b9%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637411421428266492%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=Km%2FO0M0RYnBy2Agy%2F9LyxshZi7ss4I3ygiwkNf0VB68%3D&reserved=0 >
