HI Mark,

I'm not sure of those should be updated tbh, for debian it's under the header of

openvswitch (2.7.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

I think it should stay as 16.11 here as that's what was initially supported for 2.7.0-1 I would guess.

If a new section for 2.7.1 is added I guess we could add it there (Im not sure though as we haven't done this before).

I'd be slow to update the reference in $OVS_DIR/rhel/openvswitch-fedora.spec.in as its

BuildRequires: dpdk-devel >= 16.11

I would think the >= takes care of moving to the latest 16.11 available for the distro?

I'm not an expert on what would be required for this so happy to defer to others judgements from the RHEL community.

I would like to see the travis and OVS doc changes go through from the patch however and not be blocked by these.

Ian
