            Bug ID: 1088
           Summary: [20.11] meson compatibility regression
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 20.11
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: meson
          Assignee: dev at dpdk.org
          Reporter: ktraynor at redhat.com
  Target Milestone: ---

DPDK 20.11 supports meson 0.47.1 as per:
http://doc.dpdk.org/guides-20.11/prog_guide/build-sdk-meson.html#getting-the-tools

The compatibility was found to be broken by the OVS CI when attempting to
upgrade OVS to use 20.11.6 and reported here:

    build: fix warnings when running external commands

    [ upstream commit ecb904cc4596b33aa182e2a7c9edc3104ff981c3 ]

    Meson 0.61.1 is giving warnings that the calls to run_command do not
    always explicitly specify if the result is to be checked or not, i.e.
    there is a missing "check" parameter. This is because the default
    behaviour without the parameter is due to change in the future.

    We can fix these warnings by explicitly adding into each call whether
    the result should be checked by meson or not. This patch therefore
    adds in "check: false" to each run_command call where the result is
    being checked by the DPDK meson.build code afterwards, and adds in
    "check: true" to any calls where the result is currently unchecked.
