Minutes

=====================================================================
General Discussion
* 24.11 roadmap status:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1doTZOOpkv4D5P2w6K7fEJpa_CjzrlMl3mCeDBWtxnko/edit
   * We should work on the 25.03 roadmap at the DTS meeting in 2 weeks.
Patrick will come prepared with a rough draft.
* 24.11 RC3 has released
   * Next-dts was pulled, and we are not applying any additional patches
for the 24.11 release
   * Do not push anything to next-dts until the release of 24.11 (excluding
any bugfixes)
   * Our major framework goals were included in this release (pydantic,
prebuilt binaries, detailed results.json)
   * We added ~5 new testsuites, including l2fwd, blocklist, dynamic
config, checksum offload
      * UNH can start to run these in it’s CI lab
* There will be no CI meeting next Thursday due to the American
Thanksgiving holiday

=====================================================================
Patch discussions
* Meson –werror settings was being passed to Sphinx -W (treat warnings as
errors) inadvertently. Luca provided a bugfix which Thomas merged:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=f4ccce58c1a33cb41e1e820da504698437987efc
* Luca will work on addin ruff linting
* No docs are generated for the testsuite docstrings, so they are not
validated, but if they were Sphinx would complain about some issues which
are present.
* Testsuite Docstrings:
   * For 25.03, we will rewrite our testsuite docstrings to use the “Steps”
and “Verify” categories (currently used in a subset of testsuites)
* Luca will pick up the task of upgrading scapy and mypy to improve type
checking (brought in with a recent scapy version)

=====================================================================
Bugzilla discussions
* Action item: Patrick needs to clean up the list now that RC3 has been
released

=====================================================================
Any other business
* There are some small inaccuracies throughout the framework docstrings due
to framework updates which have come in from 24.07 and 24.11, where the
corresponding docstring updates were missed
   * Part of the reason for this is that multiple things are documented in
2 places, which we should stop doing going forward
   * UNH guys should each volunteer to review docstrings for a certain set
of framework dirs/files early in the 25.03 release cycle and submit
docstring updates to bring everything up to date
* Next meeting Dec 5, 2024
