Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH V2] doc: add guideines for initial PMD submission
Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2019 13:13:25 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190412101325.5272-1-ramirose@gmail.com> (raw)
Message-ID: <20190412101325.x5ybgMbdqjvObHUPxdPSbhivUqfgnSze9_7YGWp_J74@z> (raw)

This patch for DPDK Contributor's Guidelines indicates the repos
against which a new PMD should be prepared; for example, for new 
network ethernet PMDs it should be dpdk-next-net, and for new crypto
PMDs it should be dpdk-next-crypto. For other new PMDs, the  
contributor should refer to the MAINTAINERS file. Though this may seem
obvious, it is not mentioned in DPDK documentation.
