[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 0/4] devtools: abi breakage checks

[Conor Walsh <conor.walsh@intel.com>]

This patchset introduces changes to test-meson-builds.sh, check-abi.sh and
adds a new script gen-abi-tarballs.sh. The changes to test-meson-builds.sh
include UX improvements such as adding command line arguments and allowing
the use of relative paths. Reduced the number of abi checks to just two,
one for both x86_64 and ARM, the references for these tests can now be
prebuilt and downloaded by test-meson-builds.sh, these changes will allow
the tests to run much faster. check-abi.sh is updated to use the prebuilt
references. gen-abi-tarballs.sh is a new script to generate the prebuilt
abi references used by test-meson-builds.sh, these compressed archives can
be retrieved from either a local directory or a remote http location.
