Is rebuilding all container images something that needs to be done every<br>
time we do a minimum meson version bump? If so, we probably need to look to<br>
take steps to make things easier to do.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Right now we do build new images any time any DPDK dependencies are updated, including meson. That's done with the dpdk-ci template engine (an application that templates out Dockerfiles for DPDK CI testing): <a href="https://git.dpdk.org/tools/dpdk-ci/tree/containers">https://git.dpdk.org/tools/dpdk-ci/tree/containers</a></div><div><br></div><div>However, to simplify we can just move to installing meson at runtime in all cases. We already have to do this sometimes (like when testing with an LTS that requires a different meson) so doing it in all cases wouldn't be too disruptive. And, of course the main point is that that would allow us to accomodate a version bump like this without rebuilding the CI images. Let me know if you have an opinion. In any case I will chat with the CI Lab students about it.</div></div></div>
