Re: [dpdk-ci] SVE Testing Temporarily Disabled

[Brandon Lo <blo@iol.unh.edu>]

Hi Juraj,

That sounds good to me. I can see how the queue plays after enabling
the sve test again with these new changes.
This will probably happen early next week, just so that I can watch
over it throughout the work week.

I will also let you know if I am going to migrate over to the
cross-compile solution in the future.

Thanks,
Brandon

Lincoln mentioned you'd plan sometime in the future and this would surely be good enough. In the meantime, we could use the above approach if it's good enough, execution time-wise.
