[dpdk-dev] Compilation failed for Patches intended for previous releases

[dpdk-dev] Compilation failed for Patches intended for previous releases

[Muhammad Bilal]

About 2 weeks ago, I submitted a patch for a Bug 364, Intended for
18.11 branch. The compilation on patchwork failed, whereas it is
compiled successfully on my local system. I think this might have
happened because Patch was tested on a Master branch instead of an
18.11 branch.
My question is how should we submit a patch for the 18.11 branch.

Patch  address = http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/66978/
Bugzilla ID: 364

Regards,
Muhammad Bilal

Hi, it is documented here:
http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/contributing/patches.html#backporting-patches-for-stable-releases

Key points being, it should be sent to stable@dpdk.org and *not*
dev@dpdk.org and it should have the target branch(es) in the subject.
