# DPDK Patch Review
## Summary
This patch updates the minimum required Meson version from 0.57.2 to 0.60.0 and enables `--fatal-meson-warnings` in CI builds. The patch is straightforward and addresses documented Meson warnings about using features from 0.60.0.
## Review Findings
### Errors
None.
### Warnings
None.
### Info
**CI script modification**
The addition of `--fatal-meson-warnings` to `.ci/linux-build.sh` is a process improvement that will help catch future compatibility issues early. This is a good practice.
**Documentation consideration**
The patch does not update any documentation regarding the minimum Meson version requirement. Consider updating `doc/guides/linux_gsg/sys_reqs.rst` or similar system requirements documentation if it mentions the Meson version. This would help users understand the new minimum version requirement.
**Meson version availability**
Meson 0.60.0 was released in December 2021, which is now over 4 years old. This should be widely available in supported distributions. However, it may be worth noting in the release notes (deprecation.rst or release_notes) that the minimum Meson version has been bumped, as this could affect users on older systems.
## Code Quality Assessment
The code changes are minimal and focused:
- The meson.build change correctly updates the version constraint
- The CI script change is properly placed with other build options
- The commit message clearly describes the motivation (fixing warnings)
## Conclusion
The patch is **acceptable**. The changes are correct and improve the project's build system hygiene by aligning the declared minimum version with the features actually used.
Optional improvements:
1. Update system requirements documentation
2. Add a note to the current release notes about the Meson version bump (under "Other" or "Build System" section)
