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

[Andrii <bearrailgun@gmail.com>]

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.
