will report the issue via Bugzilla.
Subtrees
--------
* main
* Build issue in the main repo solved
* next-net
* Nothing much in both backlog and the repo yet
* 'ionic' PMD reviewed, got confirmation that it will be re-licensed as BSD-3
* next-net-crypto
* add eventmode to ipsec-secgw patchset is in the backlog
* There is a request to have release notes template ready for next releases
so that patches addressing those releases can update them
* This can be confusing for release packages, to have release notes from
future releases, so they won't be included.
* Need to clarify CPU crypto patchset status, if it requires ABI breakage,
it may need to wait for next LTS
* next-net-eventdev
* l3fwd eventdev support patches are in backlog
* WANTED: l3fwd sample app is missing maintainer, we need volunteers for
maintaining and/or reviewing it.
* next-net-virtio
* dynamic logging patch is in the queue
* Will work on virtio vdpa driver
* Should we move vdpa related code to a common folder?
* LTS
* 17.11.10
* Luca is working on it with best effort, planning a release on December
* This will be last 17.11.x release
* 18.11.6
* Kevin already backported some patches and sent notification emails for it
* ~150 more patches waiting for the backporting
* For the patches that failed to backport automatically, emails sent to
authors and mail list to request help from authors for backporting.
* Is this method working or if we can find more effective way.
OvS
