We are currently running kmods testing 1x/day for the periodic testing on the main branch, per the original request from last year. I am disabling this now. It makes sense to me that this testing should be shifted to 22.11 LTS periodic runs, but I will leave it up to the community to decide whether that is valuable or not. --00000000000079bb9f06027e2ef2 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

This is a heads up for KNI removal in the *main* branch.

With this removal, there is no remaining out of tree Linux kernel
module to compile/test in DPDK sources.
This means that jobs (like the one in UNH lab that was compile-testing
KNI against the latest Linux kernel sources) can be disabled.

Important note: this mail does not ask for any change to LTS releases testi= ng.
If KNI was built and tested with LTS releases, you should continue to do so= .
