Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] build: alias default build as generic
Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2021 08:43:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <578aac9f5f9f4f7cb409af710de8a5e7@pantheon.tech> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1613657555-17683-1-git-send-email-juraj.linkes@pantheon.tech>
Hi Thomas, David,
Is there anything missing in this patch? We have some acks and reviewed-by. Maybe add more documentation? If so, where?
Thanks,
Juuraj
