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

[Graham Bloice <graham.bloice@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Juan,

We have a Solaris 10 buildbot (http://buildbot.wireshark.org/trunk/builders/Solaris%2010%20SPARC)  but nothing for Solaris 9.

Many thanks for the detailed info to everyone.

I already pushed some of my changes (already accepted) to the repository, and I will keep doing that in the future. 

I have a last question (technical one this time). Do you build Wireshark for Solaris (9 and 10)? I am facing issues doing it and I want to know if it is supposed to work and the problems are on my side.

Anyone here has done that before manually? Any recommendation on where to get the missing packages?

Thanks!

Juanjo Martin

Hi Juan,

The GPL FAQ has answers for this type of question (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html, see the section "Distribution of programs released under the GNU licenses") but note that Wireshark is GPL 2.0.

Hi Anders,

Yes! I was aware of the licensing terms. Is it mandatory to provide the source in the same bundle as the binary or on the other hand. I can mention in our documentation that the source code is available, and if they ask for it, provide it?

Thanks for the advice regarding the development version.

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.

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
