DPDK 17.11 LTS

DPDK 17.11 LTS

[Mcnamara, John]

Hi,

At the recent DPDK 2017 Userspace in Dublin it was agreed that we should have a DPDK 17.11 LTS with 2 year support that would run in parallel with the DPDK 16.11 LTS.

However, if order for this to happen the community will have to provide a maintainer, either for 17.11 LTS or for 16.11 LTS (to allow Yuanhan to move from 16.11 LTS maintenance to 17.11 LTS maintenance).

Ideally this person should come from one of the OSVs. Either way if we don't get a volunteer we won't have a 17.11 LTS.

Volunteers please step forward.

John

Hello John,

I was just about to write you :-)

I am available to volunteer. I've just got permission from AT&T
management to dedicate some working hours every week to the project
(this is the reason why I didn't say anything on the spot - I needed to
ask first due to the time requirements).

I am fine with either 16.11 or 17.11, whichever Yuanhan prefers.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot Luca, and welcome :)
You will have to send me a public SSH key.

Yuanhan, how do you prefer to split the workload?

+1 :)

And we may should have a short chat, about the scripts I used for managing
the stable/LTS releases.

I'd prefer 17.11.

Thanks.

You mean that you are interested in managing 17.11 LTS yourself?
So Luca would become the new maintainer of 16.11 LTS?

Handshake?

Deal :-)

I'll unicast you later today with a few questions, and we can chat
about the scripts you use and everything else.

Thanks!
