Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 01/11] ip_pipeline: add parsing for config files with new syntax
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2015 13:15:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1435230914-8174-2-git-send-email-maciejx.t.gajdzica@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1435230914-8174-1-git-send-email-maciejx.t.gajdzica@intel.com>

From: Pawel Wodkowski <pawelx.wodkowski@intel.com>

New syntax of config files is needed for ip_pipeline example
enhancements. Some old files are temporarily disabled in the Makefile.
It is part of a bigger change.
