That's probably for the best. As an alternative, it would be easy to install INSTALL.DPDK, e.g. for Debian I think all you need is: diff --git a/debian/openvswitch-common.docs b/debian/openvswitch-common.docs index d6360a1..3bd2ca3 100644 --- a/debian/openvswitch-common.docs +++ b/debian/openvswitch-common.docs @@ -1 +1,2 @@ FAQ +INSTALL.DPDK _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
