[Regression Potential] Upstream performs extensive testing before release, giving us a high degree of confidence in the general case. There problems are most likely to manifest in Ubuntu-specific integrations, such as in relation to the versions of dependencies available and other packaging-specific matters. [Notes] I already prepared the changes for the shared Debian/Ubuntu deb_dpdk project and base on that will create backports for Cosmic/Bionic in a PPA for the usual pre MRE evaluation we agreed on. + + There are two more bugs part of the MRE: + - bug 1799397 which just happened to exist on LP but is a normal part of + the MRE (it is upstream, tested and discussed there and part of the MRE + verification) + - bug 1814919 which will only be in the next stable release but we need it + to be ready for Linux 5.0 based HWE kernels. Adding it on this upload + makes sure this works, SRU verification will be done on the bug itself + (as it would not be part of the MRE verification process by default)
