Thomas,

Sorry for the late reply. DPDK will definitely be supported by IBM. I think
Pradeep and the team is working on this. Personally, I don't have enough
bandwidth to do this, we'll have a discussion internally to decide who will
take over the maintenance.

Thank you!

Why is no-one of IBM/Power world replying at all?
There not even was a "oh yeah, <whatever the content would be>" mail
by them.
Is in fact ppc64 support in DPDK dead or at least "unmaintained"?
This is something that mid term has to be sorted out - I tried to pull
some strings to get attention "there" but so far I'm waiting for a

reply.

I'd say 18.11 should not be released with a clear re-confirmation of
ppc64 maintainance ppc64 by "someone".

I tend to agree.

Let's try again:

Chao, are you still available for DPDK PPC maintenance?

SHOULD WE DECLARE DPDK NOT SUPPORTED ON PPC64?
