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 is more efficient if this is caught locally before up-streaming.\n\n---\nv4:\n - Reworked both Python scripts to use more native Python functions\n and modules.\n - Python scripts are now in line with how other Python scripts in\n DPDK are structured.\n\nv3:\n - Fix for bug which now allows meson < 0.48.0 to be used\n - Various coding style changes throughout\n - Minor bug fixes to the various meson.build files\n\nv2: Spelling mistake, corrected spelling of environmental\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 | 141 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n buildtools/meson.build | 18 +++++\n config/meson.build | 15 ++++\n devtools/gen-abi-tarball.py | 142 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n devtools/gen-abi.sh | 6 +-\n drivers/meson.build | 14 ++++\n lib/meson.build | 14 ++++\n meson_options.txt | 2 +\n 8 files changed, 347 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)\n create mode 100755 buildtools/abi-setup.py\n create mode 100755 devtools/gen-abi-tarball.py" }
