Bug Description
The upstream DPDK project does not keep sover's on their combined library.
There was some great work to properly version all the sublibraries going into
For now we have to live with the state as (deliver as sover 0) is and all its implications like complex upgrades/updates.
Might be tricky on the first ABI/API bump, but so far we have only few consumers at least.
We have participated on a discussion about in upstream dpdk but that is still open.
And focus is currently elsewhere.
The last suggestion came from RH and was around a linker script that would replace the combined library.
The linker script would then on link time include just the needed (and versioned) sub libraries of DPDK.
We would have a lot of effort packaging that this way, but even if so we will have to wait until upstream really settled on this.
This bug is more about tracking the issue openly.

FYI - the linker script solution seems to be refreshed and picked up for 2.3 http:// dpdk.org/ dev/patchwork/ patch/9088/
