[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] ci: update travis to use bionic

[Kevin Laatz]

Currently, the Travis CI is using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial) which is
becoming increasingly outdated. This patch updates Travis to use Ubuntu
18.04 LTS (Bionic) which will give us the benefit of more up-to-date
packages being availble and the newer features that come with them.

This LGTM.

Will adding the abigail-tools automatically invoke the ABI checks?
Otherwise, maybe it's best to save this for a future commit.

I'll look for the robot build when it comes by.  Thanks!

Yes, the meson option that will be introduced with the "Add ABI 
compatibility checks to the meson build" [1] patch set will be set to 
"auto" meaning the checks will run if abidiff is found.

Okay.  I'm fine with that change.

I noticed the shared builds are failing:
  https://travis-ci.com/ovsrobot/dpdk/jobs/268042693

But not sure what the issue is with librte_mempool_ring

Can you see why it would fail under bionic?

Between Xenial and Bionic, there has been a slight change (RPATH 
related) in how shared objects are linked causing librte_mempool_ring to 
not be found.

Ruifeng has submitted a patch [1] that addresses this issue.

But I do have a question - should this come together with removal of
extra sources/packages added just to overcome building problems
resulting from outdated distro?  Or this should be responsibility of
person that added those (e.g. I've added gcc-7 from
ubuntu-toolchain/r-test for LTO builds)

Regards
Andrzej

We disabled the LTO job in Travis on 11/08:

Were you referring to something else?

Thanks.

available*

The Intel CI tests Ubuntu 16.04.
As you mentioned, 18.04 comes with a more recent clang and libabigail
which will be necessary in other series.

I am ok with this change too.

I removed this change.
libabigail will be added when needed.

I also removed the distrib field for the aarch64 jobs, that were not
pushed to master yet, at the time this patch had been proposed.

Applied, thanks.
