The first update + out of this is the 16.07.2 release which this shall make available on + Yakkety. It feels appropriate to provide that as an MRE update since it + contains a number of critical bug-fixes. Given the somewhat bleeding + edge state DPDK seems to be in this will help to stabilize a lot. - Upstream maintenance of the stable release is at http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/ + Upstream branch of this 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: + I'd consider this well tested to be suitable for an MRE release by 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 + - These tests run on commit (verification) and larger tests on RC/Releases - - In addition I on the packaged-into-ubuntu side we have: + In addition I on the packaged-in-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) + - 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.
