Hi,
We use OBS (Thanks Lucas to set this up, I'm only re-using what he
did) to do some cross release/distro build checks based on our WIP
branches on github.
You can dive into details of logs and configuration here:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:cpaelzer:branches:home:bluca:dpdk/dpdk-19.11

Not all builds work every time, but between before & after applying a
patch for 19.11.x I at least want to see no regressions.
Due to that, please ignore suse_factory; suse_tumbleweed, debian_next
and fedora_rawhide - those have been broken before.
But most others start to fail when applying your patch while being ok before.

I'm done with DPDK 19.11 for the rest of today, so to make more sense
for you I have applied your patch again and restarted the OBS service.
In a few minutes you'll see the artifacts of a build with your patch
applied so you can have a look.
