Public bug reported: DPDK finally has established a stable release process. The first update out of this is the 16.07.2 release which this shall make available on Yakkety.
Upstream maintenance of the stable release is at http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/ The summary "changelog" of the stable release(s) is at http://dpdk.org/doc/guides-16.07/rel_notes/release_16_07.html#fixes-in-stable-release I'd consider this well tested for an MRE release from Upstream: - upstream integrated Autotest suite - Upstream has a CI Lab driven by Intel running on RC&Releases (Link FYI https://dpdksummit.com/Archive/pdf/2016Userspace/Day02-Session10-QianXu-Userspace2016.pdf) - the purpose of the (rather new) stable branch is to provide an API/ABI stable set of fixes to downstreams - These tests run on commit (verification) and larger tests on RC/Releases In addition I on the packaged-into-ubuntu side we have: - autopkgtests, but due to the nature of DPDK those can only really test the runtime bits (like service invocation) - a testing project at https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server/ubuntu/+source/dpdk-testing/+git/dpdk-testing which I ran against new uploads as a gating check - this runs the package autotests (in a manner knowing about the remaining false positives) - this also runs some of the bundled examples l2fwd, testpmd and finally the only "in archive exploiter" we have so far in OpenvSwitch-DPDK (functional and performance checks) I'll attach the log of the testing once it completes against a ppa with the proposed changes, but wanted to start the MRE discussion/process already. ** Affects: dpdk (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Fix Committed ** Affects: dpdk (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: High Status: New ** Also affects: dpdk (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: dpdk (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Committed ** Changed in: dpdk (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: dpdk (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1647945 Title: MRE stable release of DPDK 16.07.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpdk/+bug/1647945/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
