Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Stijn Tintel 2020-04-23 18:51:14 UTC 
FYI, copying openvswitch-2.11.1-r1.ebuild to openvswitch-2.12.0.ebuild and then removing 0005-datapath-conntrack-fix-include-for-IP6_DEFRAG_CONNTR.patch seems to be enough to have a working 2.12.0.

It also seems to improve performance quite a bit (tested with iperf3 TCP)

2.11.1-r1:
[ ID] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Retr
[  5]   0.00-10.00  sec  7.11 GBytes  6.10 Gbits/sec   92             sender
[  5]   0.00-10.01  sec  7.11 GBytes  6.10 Gbits/sec                  receiver

2.12.0:
[ ID] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Retr
[  5]   0.00-10.00  sec  9.32 GBytes  8.00 Gbits/sec   58             sender
[  5]   0.00-10.00  sec  9.31 GBytes  8.00 Gbits/sec                  receiver

2.12.0 + other_config:hw-offload=true + other_config:tc-policy=both (2.11.1-r1 threw errors when enabling those):
[ ID] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Retr
[  5]   0.00-10.00  sec  10.3 GBytes  8.82 Gbits/sec  102             sender
[  5]   0.00-10.01  sec  10.3 GBytes  8.81 Gbits/sec                  receiver
