+Example:
+ remote: MD5 (to copy in HTML page)
+ remote: 5e278012506c76d981e4283a92adec1c /srv/rel/dpdk-18.05.1.tar.xz

+You want to prepiare a change to the DPDK-web, so grab their repository.
+ $ git clone git://dpdk.org/tools/dpdk-web

+Modify the file content/download/_index.md

+ - check that the link to the documentation really has your tag listed

+ - check that the downloadable tarball matches the md5 listed on the
+ git push output
+ - add that new md5 to the file
+and finally suggest that change to the web team at web@dpdk.org
