Summary of the situation: - I used caps lock on August 30th - We got replies on the ML in the next 2 days (Alfredo, Chao, Takeshi) - On September 3rd, Adrien raised a major issue for C++ with the fix v3 http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2018-September/110733.html - Another email about a possible GCC fix on September 5th (David Wilder) - There was a private reply on September 27th, confirming an IBM support - and nothing else Nobody at IBM requests to get a compilation fix for ppc64. And there was no issue raised after 18.11-rc1 release. I guess it means DPDK is not used on ppc64. In this case, we should mark the ppc port as unmaintained for 18.11. OR SHOULD I USE MY CAPS LOCK AGAIN?
