[dpdk-dev] ABI version of experimental libraries

[Thomas Monjalon]

Hi,

I would like to remind everybody our mistake when defining ABI versions.
It has been "fixed" in this commit:
	http://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=f26c2b39

Please let's think about the consequence for the experimental libraries.

In DPDK 19.11, we use the ABI version 0.200 with soname 0.20
In DPDK 20.02, we use the ABI version 0.2001 with soname 0.201
Numbers are increasing, that's fine.
When we'll switch to the new major ABI and use a normal numbering:
In DPDK 20.11, we will use the ABI version 0.210 with soname 0.21
Numbers are dropping.

In short, for experimental libs, ABI 20.1 > ABI 21.0

Are we OK with this or do we prefer reverting to normal numbering
for experimental libraries in DPDK 20.02?
