This is quite outdated as i have not been active in kolla for some time but
i wote a template-override for ovs-dpdk isntallation from soruce as a replacment for standard ovs.

https://github.com/openstack/kolla/blob/master/contrib/template-override/ovs-dpdk.j2

that shows how to use some of the macros ectra that are avaiable

https://github.com/openstack/kolla/blob/master/doc/source/admin/template-override/ovs-dpdk.rst
show how to hten use that template-override as part of the image build.

as radek noted https://docs.openstack.org/kolla/yoga/admin/image-building.html#plugin-functionality
porvides a more eplicit exmaple of how to do this for ml2 plugins.

if the kolla core tema was open to it you proably coudl add a template to the contib dir in kolla
once created to share with others.

there used to be odl examples in the past.

The deploy script is able to detect the file in the "Checking for ML2 plugins" step however, I'm not able to copy it anywhere in the "Copying ML2 plugin" step. Am I missing something?
