[dpdk-dev] how can I get a git version of Latest Major release? (18.02.1)

[Andrii]

I could get only 18.02 tag, which is from February.
I want to see exactly which commits are in 18.02.1 and there is no such a
git tag
or github release etc.
Downloading 18.02.1 tarball without git history and comparing sources to
git tree seems quite stupid.
Also the question is why there is no such a branch or at least tag
which points to latest major? That seems strange.

Thanks.

Hi Andrii,


All of the DPDK repos are available here:
http://dpdk.org/browse

Please see the stable repo for various table releases:
http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/

You'll find tags, branches and more at the above location, eg:
http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/log/?h=v18.02.1


Hope that helps, -Harry

[Andrii]

Nice.

Thanks Harry.

Yep I got 18.02.1 from dpdk-stable

Is that possible to have tags like  v18.02.1 in http://dpdk.org/git/dpdk
Because the only one I can get from it is v18.02
That would be great also if dpdk.org would provide some link to dpdk-stable
Because now it points only to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/refs/
which shows only 18.02 as the latest release
So common user is just not able to get 18.02.1 from git anyhow if he is
just
browsing dpdk.org

No, the main repo is not managing stable branches.
You will have backports and stable release tags only in dpdk-stable.
But you can have both in the directory by using "git remote add".

Yes the webpage could point explicitly to it.

Note that browsing allows to find it:
	http://dpdk.org/browse/

You will find also a repo dpdk-web to send a patch for such change on the
website. The mailing list is web@dpdk.org (Cc'ed).

It is not possible to create a tag in dpdk.org/git/dpdk for stable releases,
because stable release is not snapshot of the dpdk repo.

For stable tree some sub-set of the patches are cherry-picked from dpdk.org,
also some patches are backported specially for stable releases. That is why
stable versions managed in another repository.

Not able to understand problem here, you can get stable versions from stable
tree repository.

Re: [dpdk-dev] how can I get a git version of Latest Major release? (18.02.1)

[Andrii]

The problem here is that common dpdk user is not able to find a stable
repository
from a website.
That would be great if dpdk.com/download or dpdk.com/dev would contain
a direct link to http://dpdk.org/browse/ for example.

Oh! So it's right, there is not link to git from dpdk.com/dev ;)

Andrii, I think your point is about improving the website experience,
with a better wording perhaps.
Please be aware that it is a work in progress by the marketing group
with the Linux Foundation. They will share some big improvements soon.

Re: [dpdk-dev] how can I get a git version of Latest Major release? (18.02.1)

[Andrii]

when its not clear how to get a stable release from git - it sucks.
I don't care which part of team it is: web, dev or marketing.
now there should be one more stupid joke about broken link.
