[ovs-dev] [PATCH dpdk-latest v1] build: Remove DPDK make build references.

Thanks for the patch, just a few comments below.

@Ilya, I think Sunil has addressed most of the concerns you flagged, however I'd like your opinion on the python script?

I'd like to have this patch merged to dpdk-latest before creating our RFC patch to move OVS master to use 20.11 so it would be nice to have this reviewed/reworked so as to include the changes.

Probably going forward it's better to use the Fixes tag, so

Fixes: 540e70fba6d5 ("build: Add support for DPDK meson build")

A summary of the changes would be good hear, they will be stripped off when be applied.
Although in the case it is a new patch rather than part of a revision so I understand why
You ma not have put it here.

This references the DPDK 20.08 documentation, I think it should be 20.11?

I don't have an issue with above, I think the comment explains the purpose, however Ilya might have a different approach without the script?
