2016-10-27 12:38, Shreyansh Jain: > rte_device/driver generalization patches [1] were merged without a change > in the LIBABIVER macro. This patches bumps the macro of affected libs.
It is not a macro but a Makefile variable. > (librte_eal was already bumped; libcryptodev and libetherdev have been > bumped).
