--- Comment #38 from Neil Horman <nhorman@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
The ticket is closed because the package is integrated into fedora, so theres
no need to keep it open any more.

The CFLAGS issue is a tricky one.  Ville wants me to do a few things, chief
among them build the dpdk with the RPM_OPT_FLAGS macro.  This is a large set of
compiler flags that is used to enforce security policy in fedora built
packages.  Unfortunately doing so has several problems, among them the fact
that several compiler flags in RPM_OPT_FLAGS conflict with compiler flags that
the dpdk build sets internally.  Add to that the EXTRA_CFLAGS macro doesn't
seem to apply to all sources, and doesn't always parse properly, leading a
large series of breaks in the build (both at compile time, and in the package).
 When Ville says I don't care, I'm really just not that worried about it, given
that the Fedora DPDK is an unoptimized build for which there is general
consensus that no one will build a product out of the package without a
complete rebuild of the libraries anyway.

I've not managed to compile a complete list of build breaks for adding
RPM_OPT_FLAGS yet, but if you want to take a look, you are more than welcome
to.  I'm on vacation for the next week, but will be checking my email if you
have questions on how to do anything.  Otherwise I'll get back to this once I
get home.
