Hi Rahul,

It is not like Linux next trees, this is more like Dave's net tree.
In dpdk responsibilities split into sub-trees, and all target current release,
patches merged into sub-trees and pulled by main tree in integration deadline.

All network drivers and ethdev abstraction layer patches goes into next-net
sub-tree.


Briefly overall process is [1]:
- A new feature needs to be sent before proposal deadline, this can be a full
version of the set or RFC. Proposal deadline for the release announced in
https://dpdk.org/dev/roadmap

- After that point code reviews done and new versions sent till integration
deadline. Accepted patches are integrated to release candidate 1 (rc1).
Of course patch can be reviewed and merged without waiting integration deadline.
If a patch not get an approval and merge into tree in integration deadline,
most probably it won't go into release.

- Fixes can be sent from beginning of release to rcX. Only latest rcX mostly for
the fixes on features introduced in that release.

- After rc1, code tested and fixes sent for found defects. No new feature
expected after rc1.

- We go mostly to rc3 or rc4 before release.


[1]
Thomas, please correct me if I missed something. And this needs to be documented
indeed.
