[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 0/7] Do not change build/link behavior on stable release

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Hi,
most of you have been on CC on the discussion around this already.
Background:
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/stable/2021-March/029418.html

Summary:
- changes to DPDK linking were proposed to stable @19.11.4 and
  identified to be bad
- in the 19.11.6 time-frame the responses were ok so they were
  accepted in there
- but the old issue still exists and e.g. OVS is non-buildable vs
  DPDK >=19.11.6
- IMHO an upgrade of 19.11.x should not break how linking is done
- But, OTOH one can now say "upgrading from 19.11.6 -> 19.11.8 this
  changes"

I'm unsure if this is worth an early 19.11.8 or maybe just
pushing it to git and an entry in the known-issues for 19.11.7?
But before we bike-shed over that let us discuss and agree if
taking those changes out of the 19.11.x release is the right
approach.
