Dear Feng,

We have VPP consumers which would like to use VPP in the containerized 
environment without DPDK so dpdk needs to be separate package.
Regarding your particular problem, it should be fixed with 
https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/5837/ as Dave suggested.

Thanks,

Damjan

So this would suggest that VPP by default (that is, by doing 'yum install vpp') 
will not have dpdk support, and vpp-plugins must also be installed to add it, I 
would think dpdk plugin should be either packaged or installed together with 
VPP by default, and can be disabled if desired.

In any case, will deployment model stay this way? I'll need to make changes to 
puppet module to include other packages if that's how it will be going forward. 
Also, dpdk section should be commented out in the config file so we can start 
VPP service using the default config.

Thanks
Feng

Commenting out the dpdk stanza is a great workaround but we may want to look at 
bit more closely at the issue... as installing the vpp project should result in 
an out of the box runnable vpp.

Simply remove the “dpdk” stanza from /etc/vpp/startup.conf if you want to run 
vpp without the dpdk plugin.

Subject: [vpp-dev] vpp-plugins RPM dependency

Hi All,

With latest master builds of VPP (on Centos with rpm repo), it seems like it's 
necessary to install vpp-plugins package for vpp to start, without it, I get 
the following error when running vpp (with default config file):

vlib_plugin_early_init:360: plugin path /usr/lib/vpp_plugins
vlib_call_all_config_functions: unknown input `dpdk  '

Looking at the spec file, vpp package depends on vpp-lib only, so it appears 
that we need to add vpp-plugins to the dependency list too. However, it also 
looks like vpp-plugins depends on vpp package, so I'm trying to figure out what 
the right dependency relationship is :)

Thanks
Feng
