Dear release team,
DPDK maintains LTS branches upstream for 2 years [1]. This is covered
by regressions tests from Intel and AT&T on various networking hardware
and virtualized environments.These tests are run to validate the
release branch before tagging a new version. Other hardware vendors
regularly test these LTS versions too. They are also used by other
distros such as RedHat and Ubuntu.
Only bug fixes that affect that release branch, and that have already
been merged in the mainline, are allowed. No API/ABI changes of any
kind are allowed. Full changelog can be found at the bottom of the
release notes [2].
Each major mainline release is followed by an LTS branch release, where
the relevant bug fixes are backported, so there are usually 4 bugfix
LTS releases per year. There are usually between 10 and 100 patches
backported per release.
Stretch shipped with the first release of 16.11. Since then, there have
been 4 bugfix LTS releases, up to 16.11.4 a few days ago.
We have uploaded them to unstable/testing/stretch-backports.
We would like to take advantage of the upstream LTS maintenance and
push these point releases to Stretch.
Attached is the full debdiff. I can provide a debdiff for each
individual point release between 16.11 and 16.11.4 if required.
There is only one change in dependency, python-elftools was demoted
from Recommends to Suggests as it's not useful in most cases. I think
this change is fine but can remove it if asked.
Patches to fix bugs reported on Ubuntu, and to make the build
reproducible, are also included. I can remove them if asked.
The changelog is inlined at the bottom.
Although the main users are Debian users with custom software, there is
a reverse build-dep in Stretch as well, collectd. It works fine with
the new LTS version.

dpdk (16.11.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Luca Boccassi ]
* Merge stable update to 16.11.3; For a list of changes see
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/announce/2017-August/000143.html
* Fix reproducibility of librte-eal linuxapp.
* Mark build-dependencies needed for documentation builds with the <!nodoc>
build-profile to fully implement support for it.
* Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.0. Relevant changes are nodoc support and
build reprodicibility.
* Switch to debian.org email address.
* Build-Depend on debhelper (>= 9.20160709) rather than dh-systemd as
latter is deprecated. Fixes Lintian Error:
build-depends-on-obsolete-package
* Fix upstream version parsing in d/rules to account for -rcX.
* Build-Depend on debhelper (>= 9.20160709) | dh-systemd to keep
compatibility with Ubuntu 16.04, which does not yet have that
of debhelper.
* Revert: d/rules: use new dh option names - Ubuntu 16.04 does not
have a debhelper that supports the new option, so use the old
ones for now.
* Correctly parse upstream version when using ~rc instead of -rc.
* Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.1, no changes.
[ Christian Ehrhardt ]
* d/rules: use new dh option names
* d/rules: properly enable dpdk systemd service
* d/t/control: fix test dependencies for s390x.

dpdk (16.11.2-1) experimental; urgency=medium
[ Christian Ehrhardt ]
* Merge stable update to 16.11.2; For a list of changes
see http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/announce/2017-May/000131.html
* Dropped changes - patches that were included in 16.11.2 stable:
- d/p/kni-fix-build-with-kernel-4.11.patch
- d/p/nicvf-0002-net-thunderx-fix-32-bit-build.patch
- d/p/nicvf-0006-mk-fix-lib-filtering-when-linking-app.patch
- d/p/nicvf-0008-net-thunderx-fix-stats-access-out-of-bounds.patch
- d/p/nicvf-0010-net-thunderx-fix-deadlock-in-Rx-path.patch
[ Luca Boccassi ]
* Optionally generate libdpdk-dbgsym metapackage that depends on every
librte/PMD binary package's dbgsym. Keep it disabled by default, and
let users choose to enable it by passing dbgsym_meta via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
Thanks Jan Blunck for the patch!
* Generate dependency list of libdpdk-dev to all librte and PMDs packages
dynamically at build time.
* Generate list of recommends for dpdk dynamically at build time.
* dpdk-modules-$KVERS: depend on same kernel version used to build rather than
just recommend - in-kernel API/ABI is not stable.
* Support for building packages for the new mempool framework has been added.
In 17.05 and newer a mempool framework was added, that has to be loaded
like a PMD. So any "plugin" will be linked in RTE_EAL_PMD_PATH just like
the PMDs. No mempool plugins are built for now, so it is currently a no-op.
* Drop libethdev4, librte-cryptodev1 and librte-eal2 transitional packages,
no longer needed.
* Fix some upstream documentation links in the packages metadata.
Thanks Chas Williams!
* Fix building debugging symbols for -dbgsym packages. Thanks Chas Williams!
