Minutes

=====================================================================
General Announcements
* Bruce raised an idea on slack of provide initial pending status for all labs from one centralized job (can be run by UNH)
* Meeting time will be moved by 1 hour to accommodate for daylight savings. The meeting time will be 14:00 UTC.
* Dts roadmap: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1doTZOOpkv4D5P2w6K7fEJpa_CjzrlMl3mCeDBWtxnko/edit?tab=t.0
* RC3 is out next Tuesday
   * Thomas has indicated he may pull from next-dts today

=====================================================================
CI Status

---------------------------------------------------------------------
UNH-IOL Community Lab
* Cody at UNH is dry running tests on the new CN10K cryptodev (legacy) DTS testcases
   * https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dts/patch/20241030164419.3164992-1-gpalanethra@marvell.com/
* We have merged to next-dts a series which adds detailed testrun json output, which we have been needing in order to meaningfully run DTS in CI. Once this series is pulled into mainline (ideally rc3), UNH should be able to start reporting results to the mailing list from new DTS.
* Adam’s v2 patchwork patch for depends-on has had a review from the maintainer and got some light comments - he is working on the v3 now.

DTS Improvements & Test Development
* Testsuites merged this week:
   * Pydantic data validation
   * L2fwd testsuite and testsuite helper functions
   * Async sniffer bugfix
* Patrick will be continuing to merge some testsuite patches today and tomorrow
* Testsuite documentation style:
   * Current testsuites have different docstring sections for the testcase functions. One approach used is specifying “steps” and “verify” content for each testcase. We should move to this approach for all testsuites in DTS.

=====================================================================
Any other business
* Next Meeting Nov 28, 2024
* Marvell crypto test legacy DTS patch was discussed - this is being reviewed by Patrick
