(Yeah I really could reuse it three times :-) ) It will be a bit of effort to adapt, but should be no rocket-science. I like that eventually the namespace will be cleaner. Just curious, do we already know by looking ahead if ethdev will get an ABI bump anyway? So will the transition be: a) libethdev4 -> librte_ethdev5 b)libethdev4 -> librte_ethdev4 If it is b) would/should one provide a compat symlink then in your Opinion?
