This was reviewed and tested by Jamespage (in regard to the OVS build) and by upstream (in regard to the changes on top of 19.11.7 and for the stable release itself). Thereby I think this is ready to enter the SRU process.
Uploaded to F/G-unapproved - dpdk_19.11.7-0ubuntu0.20.04.1_source.changes - dpdk_19.11.7-0ubuntu0.20.10.1_source.changes ** Description changed: + --- SRU-OVS --- + [Impact] This release sports mostly bug-fixes and we would like to make sure all of our supported customers have access to these improvements. The update contains the following package updates: * openvswitch 2.13.3 [Test Case] The following SRU process was followed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStackUpdates In order to avoid regression of existing consumers, the OpenStack team will run their continuous integration test against the packages that are in -proposed. A successful run of all available tests will be required before the proposed packages can be let into -updates. The OpenStack team will be in charge of attaching the output summary of the executed tests. The OpenStack team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until this has happened. [Regression Potential] In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the aforementioned tests are attached to this bug. - >> Related DPDK fix <<< + + --- SRU DPDK for this bug --- + [Impact] - Due to changes landed in error in the 19.11 stable DPDK branch linking of OVS with DPDK is currently broken in Focal and Groovy. + + Due to changes landed in error in the 19.11 stable DPDK branch linking + of OVS with DPDK is currently broken in Focal and Groovy. + + See http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/stable/2021-March/029418.html [Test Case] + No change rebuild of the openvswitch package [Regression Potential] - The offending commits should not have landed into the stable DPDK branch upstream; this has been discussed with developers involved with this change and it was agreed that they will be reverted. + + The offending commits should not have landed into the stable DPDK branch + upstream; this has been discussed with developers involved with this + change and it was agreed that they will be reverted. + + In theory one could say that the linking "now changes from 19.11.6" and + that is correct.
