We don't have CI set up at the moment but this is definitely something we are looking into adding. > Third question: Do you have time to dedicate to DPDK? After this initial port, we do plan to keep currency base on need but how frequent will be determined by usage. > If yes, why not helping with IBM Power? Our work is specific to Z offering, we'll be interested to run CI for Z also which will help maintaining our currency. How is CI set up on the platforms currently supported in DPDK? It looks like a build gets run after a patch is submitted. Wondering if there are any documentation on how this is set up? Thanks.
