We must send comments in old patch threads and close some. - backup maintainer guidelines Some sub-trees (net, crypto, event) should find a backup. - MAINTAINERS file for trees Thomas will send a patch to sort trees at the beginning of the file. 1/ Stable releases roadmap: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/web/2018-March/000615.html - stable maintainers Kevin Traynor was approved as maintainer of the LTS branch 18.11. - release schedule It looks difficult to have an early first stable release. The earlier can be after the next RC1 validation tests are passed. Suggestions should be sent in the email thread. 2) Check progress of few changes: - memory rework This big change is under testing and still on track for 18.05. - offload API Patches are missing for some PMDs. Update: there are commitments for all of them in 18.05. The deprecation notice will be updated to remove only the old driver interface in 18.05. The application interface (API) should be removed in 18.08. - uevent hotplug Still a lot of opens to discuss but not enough interest in emails. - devargs syntax Gaetan sent some patches which must be reviewed quickly. - CRC_STRIP offload Default should be CRC stripping. If a PMD lacks the capability, it can be emulated. A new flag to keep the CRC must be introduced. - minimal kernel requirement Not discussed because of time out.
