[Pkg-dpdk-devel] dpdk+openvswitch: remove i386 support?

[Luca Boccassi]

Hello,

Ubuntu already removed i386 builds of dpdk (and ovs-dpdk) some time ago
and the sky hasn't fallen.

Are there any objections if we drop dpdk:i386 in Debian too (and thus
in ovs-dpdk)?

dpdk is really focused on high performance through CPU-based
forwarding, and the old i386 baseline is not really a good match, even
assuming the hardware could support it in the first place. Removing it
means easing maintenance cost on our side, as there are very often
compilation errors that are uncaught upstream due to lack of CI
coverage.

Kind regards,
