    "content": "This patchset allows developers to check ABI breakages during build time.\nCurrently checking that the DPDK ABI has not changed before up-streaming\ncode is not intuitive. The current method, requires the contributor to\nuse either the test-build.sh and test-meson-build.sh tools, along side\nsome environmental variables to test their changes. Contributors in many\ncases are either unaware or unable to do this themselves, leading to a\npotentially serious situation where they are unknowingly up-streaming\ncode that breaks the ABI. These breakages are then caught by Travis, but\nit would be more efficient if this is caught locally before up-streaming.\n\nConor Walsh (4):\n  devtools: bug fix for gen-abi.sh\n  devtools: add generation of compressed abi dump archives\n  buildtools: add script to setup abi checks for meson\n  build: add abi breakage checks to meson\n\n buildtools/abi-setup.py     | 104 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n buildtools/meson.build      |  20 ++++++\n config/meson.build          |   9 +++\n devtools/gen-abi-tarball.py | 125 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n devtools/gen-abi.sh         |   6 +-\n drivers/meson.build         |  15 +++++\n lib/meson.build             |  15 +++++\n meson_options.txt           |   2 +\n 8 files changed, 291 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)\n create mode 100755 buildtools/abi-setup.py\n create mode 100755 devtools/gen-abi-tarball.py"
