Unfortunately this is a a bit of a circular dependency. Luca and I are working on 22.11 and we brought it into Debian experimental as you have seen. But it is stuck there until this patch set lands, because Debian (and Ubuntu) will then branch of an OVS version with those patches. Only then will the new DPDK be allowed to migrate into Debian/Ubuntu as only then there is a valid build of its dependencies. There are a few alternatives to un-break this loop. 1. Luca maintains regular builds of DPDK from latest git at [1] for all kind of distributions 2. you could use debian-experimental (only helps Debian) 3. I could provide you with an Ubuntu PPA that has the new DPDK 22.11 builds (only hellps Ubuntu) So if you always want to build against the latest in your tests - use #1 If you want something semi-stable consider #2/#3. ... Or ... apply this patch, we branch a pre 3.1 OVS, builds work, DPDK will migrate into Debian/Ubuntu archives for real.
