Does the release package not include binaries?

Question

Hi,

There is no binaries in release packages as far as I checked. (e.g. https://github.com/xdp-project/xdp-tools/releases/download/v1.4.2/xdp-tools-1.4.2.tar.gz)
Do we have to build by ourselves if we want newer libxdp.so, libbpf.so and xdp-dispatcher.o?

Thanks!

No, we don't include binaries as part of the release artifacts. If your distro doesn't provide an updated package, you will have to build your own :)
