Review: grout 0.16.0-1
Package Information
| Description | Graph router based on DPDK grout stands for Graph Router. In English, "grout" refers to thin mortar that hardens to fill gaps between tiles. grout is a DPDK based network processing application. It uses the rte_graph library for data path processing. Its main purpose is to simulate a network function or a physical router for testing/replicating real (usually closed source) VNF/CNF behavior with an opensource tool. It comes with a client library to configure it over a standard UNIX socket and a CLI that uses that library. The CLI can be used as an interactive shell, but also in scripts one command at a time, or by batches. |

Final Comment
Thanks for your diligence on this package. It's great to see that all the
issues from the previous review have been addressed. The copyright file is now
in much better shape. I did notice one small detail that could use a touch-up.
The file main/sd_notify.c carries dual SPDX license headers: BSD-3-Clause
(line 1) and MIT-0 (line 7). The current debian/copyright stanza for this
file only lists MIT-0. To be fully accurate, it should reflect both licenses,
perhaps as BSD-3-Clause OR MIT-0. Please fix that in the next upload.
