Thomas, Unfortunately we previously had some churn in the teams that worked on DPDK on Power. That had a downstream impact. We (Power) should be in better shape than we were in the past. For the last several weeks, we have been regularly running a sub-set of DTS with unit tests, sample applications and so on against the master branch. We are also periodically running these tests against several of the stable branches as well. > We are still seeing some compilation issues regularly on Power. > Before going to DTS, I think you should extend your compilation testing, > and basic feature testing with builtin unit tests. We have not observed any compilation issues since we started the CI. The last issue reported was during 18.11-rc1 that Mellanox fixed. Hopefully, we should catch any such regressions quickly in the future, since we now have a CI that runs periodically. On a different note, I will reach out to Vivian and the s390 team.
