<br>
Another thought - if F40 is EOL it might make sense to disable it in CI and for Shani and the community to disregard this failing test. It does make sense to enable the newer versions of fedora though.<br>
<br>
I had a PR for enabling new fedora versions up when I was at UNH but it was blocked because DPDK did not build on the newest fedora (this is a pretty common occurrence for DPDK when bleeding edge fedora versions come out) but most likely this is no longer an issue. If the new fedora still wont build DPDK, that can be ticketed on Bugzilla and someone in DPDK will figure it out. Sorry for leaving this as an open item on my way out of UNH - I probably could have touched base with the team better about this PR.<br>
