Re: [dts] [PATCH] framework: extend dts to run against installed dpdk packages

["Liu, Yong" <yong.liu@intel.com>]

Hi Jianbo,
For supporting other distributions like RHEL/FreeBSD/OpenSuse, we will separate dpdk source code verification and default dpdk verification.
For the usage of testpmd application, the first step is that use pmd_output module to handle it.
Next step is add some kind of configurations for sdk and binary path. Currently DTS has supported global suite configuration and global environment setting.
In my mind, this setting should be execution based and only need to be configured in default dpdk verification.

Let us do the first step first and find one way to support all different distributions.

Thanks,
Marvin
