Hi,

Note that under GPL you are obliged to supply the source code of your modifications if you distribute binaries to your customers.

I would use the development version to get the bleeding edge stuff or the latest stable if stability is more of an issue.

 

Regards

Anders

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] What Wireshark base version to use for customization

 

Hi all,

 

I have the task to customize and package a custom Wireshark version, so we can provide that to our customers. 

 

I wonder what Wireshark version should I use as base. The latest stable release or the development release? 

 

Also, I have been looking for the information to package binaries. So far, I have found the README files, and the Development webpage. Any other source of information I can take a look at? My plan is to provide binaries for some Linux distributions, Solaris, MacOS and Windows.

 

Thanks,

Juanjo Martin
