Hi Min Zhou,

I think it makes sense for you to set your meson version to the minimum
version supported for DPDK (so, .57 now I suppose) instead of .63. The
principle that David described above regarding LTS is also true for main.
So, for the main and next-* branch testing that Loongson lab does, we want
our CI testing to verify that no change relying on post .57 meson features
get merged into main.
