Review/Carry forward pending action items

• Honnappa - Patches to DPDK to address changing the constants and printfs under progress.

• Still in progress

• Honnappa - The changes to DPDK need to be backported to LTS releases. Discuss with Lijuan and the community.

• Patches will be backported

• Owen - Owen to review Juraj’s feedback.

• Done

• Honnappa - Follow up with DPDK governing board to get the approval/legal opinion on including the GPL licensed files from DTS in the DPDK tree.

• Governing board has not met

• Owen - Look at making DTS build using the common DPDK repo in addition to the existing tarball option.

• Looks to be possible, blocked by decisions on the placement of DTS inside of DPDK

• Lijuan - The makefile removal patch is ready to get merged (http://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dts/list/?series=20610). Merge it in the 22.03 DTS release.

• Additional issues discovered

• Meson configuration changed improperly

• Makefiles will be removed as the meson issues are fixed

• Juraj - Postponed: Convert the makefile build for documentation to use meson build after merging the repositories or the directory structure is known.

• Not present

• Honnappa - Discuss merge permissions for Owen for the DTS tree with the Tech Board

• Merge permissions have been granted

• Lijuan/Owen - Check if dep/scapy_modules/Dot1BR.py file is required to be in DTS. If it is required, understand options for replacement/removing this file.

• Look into rewriting the file so it’s not GPL

• Lijuan/Owen - Check if dep/QMP/qmp.py can be installed on DUT as part of  the qemu-guest-agent package.

• In progress

• Honnappa/Owen - Discuss Python bindings for DPDK in March 9th Techboard call.

Merging DTS into DPDK

• Are we going to integrate DTS with the DPDK build system? No resolution yet.
