This script has been largely unmaintained for a long time, so my personal opinion is that i'd rather see it removed. That said, i know for a fact that users (especially non-expert ones) rely on this script, so removing it without providing a replacement is not practical. This patchset IMO is a good first step towards bringing the script up to date, but more work is needed as current usability of the script is atrocious. > > Ferruh Yigit (6): > usertools/setup: remove make based build > usertools/setup: remove inserting custom kernel modules > usertools/setup: remove running built applications > usertools/setup: remove hugepage functions > usertools/setup: fix loading vfio module > usertools/setup: move removal target to 21.11 > > doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst | 2 +- > usertools/dpdk-setup.sh | 332 ++------------------------- > 2 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 319 deletions(-) > -- Thanks, Anatoly
