Re: [dpdk-users] Suggestion: DPDK "latest" Download Links

Thomas, it would be super useful to have this in order to make sure the 
underlying platform is not broken with any version update. We don't expect code 
changes in application unless there is a breaking API change right? This would 
be good to identify it too as part of automation.

I am not sure how useful it is.
When you change from one major version to another one, you often have to adapt 
your code, so it cannot be automatic.

I see more values in having a link for the latest version of each stable branch.

[dpdk-users] Suggestion: DPDK "latest" Download Links

2018-08-21 Thread Justin Parus
Hi,

I would like to propose adding DPDK "latest" download links. For example 
dpdk-latest-major and dpdk-latest-stable, would automatically update and point 
to the most recent date major and stable releases respectively. This would be 
useful for our tests as they would always be testing the latest packages 
automatically.

Thanks,
Justin
