Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] smi_modules

["Jaap Keuter" <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I was thinking about Wireshark specific tags as well, but using ~/.smirc
for that is probably wrong. Which $HOME should that be? It should go in
the global smi.config to have it available for everyone. Not sure I like
the idea of changing the global config.
Their should be another way. Just not sure which.

Thanx,
Jaap
