DPDK 20.11 supports meson 0.47.1 as per: http://doc.dpdk.org/guides-20.11/prog_guide/build-sdk-meson.html#getting-the-tools The compatibility was found to be broken by the OVS CI when attempting to upgrade OVS to use 20.11.6 and reported here: https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2022-September/397953.html David ID'd and reported the following commit as the offender: commit 14421740c492df1d9267892566ef33e784790c1c Author: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com> Date: Thu Jan 20 18:06:39 2022 +0000 build: fix warnings when running external commands [ upstream commit ecb904cc4596b33aa182e2a7c9edc3104ff981c3 ] Meson 0.61.1 is giving warnings that the calls to run_command do not always explicitly specify if the result is to be checked or not, i.e. there is a missing "check" parameter. This is because the default behaviour without the parameter is due to change in the future. We can fix these warnings by explicitly adding into each call whether the result should be checked by meson or not. This patch therefore adds in "check: false" to each run_command call where the result is being checked by the DPDK meson.build code afterwards, and adds in "check: true" to any calls where the result is currently unchecked.

David and Thomas have setup a mirror of the dpdk-stable repo in github (thank you!) so this issue also looks to be tested and reported here: https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk-stable/actions/runs/3113587297
Ok, I'll revert that change in the next version
Is there anything pending on this topic?
