One of the issues we face in that is that the 'make install' command is used in DPDK to compile a copy of the SDK but not to place the resultant binaries in the filesystem like other packages do. In order to allow us to have the option to use 'make install' in its common meaning in a future release we need to replace it in our packages, and allow some time for the change to a new command to bed-in. This patchset therefore proposed to change "make install" to "make sdk" [and "make uninstall" to "make clean-sdk"]. Using the old commands now prints out an error message informing the user to use the new versions. These new commands are ones that made sense to me - I'm happy enough to change them for something else people feel is more appropriate. The key point here is to move away from using "make install". I would ask that if general agreement on this can be reached that such a change be considered for 2.2, even though it is late in the day, as "freeing up" the make install command will potentially take multiple releases as not everyone is on the latest version, and so waiting till 2.3 to make a change will push out any future re-use of a "make install" command by 4 months.
