I guess we should stop pulling OVS from github. Instead, we could use Xenial platform that already provides ovs == 2.5 from .deb packages.

Single hit in 7 days.

[Armando Migliaccio (armando-migliaccio)]

Kuba and I talked about this tangentially. He will be working on providing a functional job (experimental to start with) that tests on Xenial.

[Ihar Hrachyshka (ihar-hrachyshka)]

We still need to pull 2.5.1 because of a fix. We gotta bump it in Ubuntu first to avoid compilation.

The ovs fix we need for functional job stability: https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-git/2016-March/017804.html
