[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 1/1] ci: Introduce travis builds for github repositories

[Thomas Monjalon]

Hi,

04/03/2019 17:12, Michael Santana:

Please, could you explain somewhere what is the relationship
between these files?
What is specific to Travis?
What is specific to GitHub?

May we add "travis-" as filename prefix of the scripts?
Or rename .ci to .travis?

If possible, I would prefer a simple /bin/sh.

You can make FILES_TO_PRINT as a simple word list,
and so avoid bashism.

Please explain in the comment where this variable comes from.
I suggest renaming it to ARMV8 as this is what it is translated to:

> +    # convert the arch specifier
> +    OPTS="${OPTS} -DRTE_ARCH_64=1 --cross-file config/arm/arm64_armv8_linuxapp_gcc"

I think -DRTE_ARCH_64=1 is useless.

Are we going to update the distribution frequently?
Why not adding more distros?

Is it possible to run on FreeBSD?

How is it different of the matrix below?
Why testing disabling kmods?

Why packages are repeated here again?
(sorry, I don't know Travis and I want to understand)

It seems clang is not in the matrix. Why?

Thanks for this v6.
I will be available to follow more closely in next days,
so we can merge this feature soon this week.
