If the default is the one I expect then I'm fine without having an option (actually happier - less things to configure). But in Debian/Ubuntu it's dpdk-MAJORVER-drivers since last January :-) We changed because using a single directory creates problems when multiple different ABI versions are installed, due to the EAL autoload from that directory. So we need a different subdirectory per ABI revision. We were actually talking with Timothy a while ago to make this consistent across our distros, and perhaps Marco can chip in as well. Timothy, Marco, is using dpdk-MAJORVER-$something ok for you? I'm not too fussy on $something, it can be drivers or pmds or something else. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
