Hi, the libbpf version on our Ubuntu 22.04 container images is 0.5.0. I can check for our baremetal servers also, but I figure they will be the same. It sounds like the subsequent conversation is suggesting this upgrade is not viable anyhow, but to address the question in terms of Community Lab methodology, yes we are happy to modify our environments or images in any way if the community wants, but we try to run testing without upgrading the core packages the distro ships with. I.e. we would not run testing with CentOS 7 today, as it ships with gcc 4.8.5 (not supported for DPDK), even though technically we could upgrade gcc to a new version and meet all the DPDK dependencies. But yes I see Stephen ran from a 24.04 VM and validated the build with the new libbpf. By the way, I was wondering recently whether it was appropriate to add an Ubuntu 24.04 environment to the Community Lab immediately, or if it's premature in some sense. I don't want to derail this thread with that question, but if anyone is interested in this coverage going online, please write to the CI mailing list saying so.
