    Ref: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-December/030336.html

Also, added zero padding to the month so that it appear as 16.04 and
not 16.4 in "make showversion" and rte_version().

I liked the idea of Bruce of renaming these constants to
*_YEAR and *_MONTH.
I also think RTE_VER_PATCH_LEVEL should be RTE_VER_MINOR.
And maybe that RTE_VER_PATCH_RELEASE should be RTE_VER_RELEASE.

It shouldn't hurt applications as they must use RTE_VERSION
and rte_version().

Opinions?

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/3] version: adjust printing for new version scheme

[Bruce Richardson]

Since we are now using a year-month numbering scheme, adjust
the printing of the version to always use 2-digits for YY.MM
format.
Also omit the patch version unless there is a patch version present,
since patches for releases are rare on DPDK. This means that the
final release of 16.04 will report as 16.04, rather than 16.04.0.
Release candidates for it will similarly report as 16.04-rcX.

Yes
It must be done for "make showversion" also.

So the numbering of master and maintenance releases will not be consistent:
	16.04 and then 16.04.1
It's true that maintenance releases are rare but it has been discussed at
Dublin to have ones in future.
So are we OK to omit the .0 even if not consistent?

> Release candidates for it will similarly report as 16.04-rcX.

Yes, 16.04-rcX looks nicer than 16.04.0-rcX.

Shouldn't we take the opportunity to update RTE_VER_PREFIX from
"RTE" to "DPDK"?

Why renaming from _VER_ to _REL_?
mk/rte.sdkconfig.mk is not updated accordingly
(make showversion is broken)

Is there a better name for RTE_VER_PATCH_LEVEL and RTE_VER_PATCH_RELEASE?
I think PATCH_LEVEL should be MINOR, i.e. the number increased when
doing some maintenance releases.
The last digit is useful for release candidates and non-official packaging
(downstream consumers like Linux distros or vendors). It should be updated
when delivering a patched DPDK version. RTE_VER_SUFFIX should also be updated
accordingly. So is RTE_VER_PATCH_RELEASE the right name? I guess yes but not
sure.

[...]

I disagree.
It's important to know that it is the first of the major release (.0).
I think we can remove it elsewhere. Example: PROJECT_NUMBER in doxygen.

Hi,

In the interest of getting the version patch in and the release notes renamed
I'm going to drop this part of the patchset and resubmit 1/3 and 3/3. If we 
want to rework the version output we can do it in a separate patch.

I am going to maintain the zero padding of the month so that it appear as 16.04
and not 16.4 in "make showversion" and rte_version().

> Shouldn't we take the opportunity to update RTE_VER_PREFIX from "RTE" to
> "DPDK"?

I'm also going to make this change "en passant" since it makes sense and is
in the same file. The version outputs now look like this:

    $ make showversion
    16.04.0-rc0

    RTE>> version_autotest
    Version string: 'DPDK 16.04.0-rc0'

Note, if the s/RTE/DPDK/ change breaks anyone's parsing of output for tests
or otherwise, let me know.

John.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/2] version: switch to year/month version numbers

[John McNamara]

From: "Richardson, Bruce" <bruce.richardson@intel.com>

As discussed on list, switch numbering scheme to be based on year/month.
Release 2.3 then becomes 16.04.

    Ref: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-December/030336.html

Also, added zero padding to the month so that it appear as 16.04 and
not 16.4 in "make showversion" and rte_version().

Hi Alejandro,

Please note the above change to the nfp_net.c code due to the name change
in the version macro names.


I was originally going to change it to this:

    #if RTE_VER_YEAR == 2 && RTE_VER_MONTH >= 1
        dev_info->hash_key_size = NFP_NET_CFG_RSS_KEY_SZ;
    #endif

Or better:

    #if RTE_VERSION >= 0x02010000
        dev_info->hash_key_size = NFP_NET_CFG_RSS_KEY_SZ;
    #endif

However, since the code was added in DPDK 2.2 the version check doesn't seem
necessary, so I removed it. If you need it back in for some reason let me know.

A version check is needed for external applications or external drivers.
It should not exist in the git tree.
