[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 4/4] ci: reorganise Travis jobs

[Thomas Monjalon]

> Let's prune the jobs list to limit the amount of time spent by the robot
> in Travis.
> 
> Since meson enables automatically the relevant components, there is not
> much gain in testing with extra_packages vs required_packages only.
> 
> For a given arch/compiler/env combination, compilation is first tested
> in all jobs that run tests or build the docs or run the ABI checks.
> In the same context, for jobs that accumulates running tests, building
> the docs etc..., those steps are independent and can be split to save
> some cpu on Travis.
> 
> With this, we go down from 21 to 15 jobs.
> 
> Note: this patch requires a flush of the existing caches in Travis.

A small step for DPDK but a big save for the earth ;)
