[dpdk-ci] script to determine target repo (was DPDK Lab)

[Richardson, Bruce]

Hi Fangfang,

My comments on the questions you asked:

1. For determining the repo tree to target, I don't believe that we can ever come up with a 100% accurate rule, as the tree to which a set is to be applied can be difficult to determine, so it may be done on the basis of on-list discussion. A 90% accurate rule it what we may have to accept. However, since applying a patchset to a tree should not be a time-consuming operation, I suggest any script produce a list of possible trees in priority order to try. If not net, then try main, etc. etc.

2. Using the order from patch titles is correct.
