[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/3] Bump libecoli and grout; DPDK packaging improvement

[Maxime Leroy]

This patch series updates the libecoli and grout packages in Buildroot
and adds a new option to the DPDK package.

Summary of changes:
 - libecoli is bumped to version 0.11.3
 - grout is bumped to version 0.15.0
 - A new DPDK option allows disabling target installation, which is
   useful when a DPDK application is statically linked against DPDK
   libraries

Tested in GitLab CI:
  - https://gitlab.com/maxime-leroy/buildroot/-/pipelines/2449432442

I applied the patch 1 and 3 of this series (the package bumps).
I'm skipping the patch 2 adding the dpdk install target option for
the time being.

Best regards,

Julien.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/3] package/dpdk: add option to disable target installation

[Maxime Leroy]

Introduce BR2_PACKAGE_DPDK_INSTALL_TARGET (default y) to control
whether DPDK is installed on the target. When disabled, DPDK is
kept in staging only for build-time use.

This is useful when DPDK is only needed to build applications and
is not required at runtime on the target, e.g. when an application
is linked statically against the DPDK libraries (such as grout).

Can you explain why we need such specific trick with the DPDK ?

From your comments below, I guess it means:
  - DPDK has its own internal build logic with both .a and .so build
  - for performance purposes, on many targets, we link with the .a
    so it is useless to install the .so on the targets.

It would be better to send a specific one per package.
