- Update from version 4.0.8 to 4.2.5
- Update of rootfile
- Version 4.2.5 requires asciidoctor to be built for tshark to build. Despite lots of
investigation and testing out various commands, tshark will not build if asciidoctor is
not present, even if the docs are not going to be used. It is only required for the
build
- To build asciidoctor ruby has to be installed. It is only required for the build of
asciidoctor
- tshark has previously had its own version of speexdsp built in. It is only used to
provide some "arbitrary resampling code" during the build and does not end up in the
running tshark system. Version 4.2.5 has removed the internal speexdsp code but it
is still a required dependency for building, so speexdsp also need to be installed but
only for the build stage.
- The associated patches with this one provide the build installation of ruby, asciidoctor
and speexdsp. With these installed tshark was able to be built.
- version 4.0.8 and 4.2.5 of tshark were tested out on a vm system with the command
"tshark -c 100 > tshark" and this wrote 100 packets from the vm red0 interface to a
text file. Both the old and new versions provided the same sort of result. To a first
level of testing this shows that the 4.2.5 version is functioning as the previous
version was.
- This version had an sobump so find-dependencies was run. All files linked to the three
libraries in tshark are all also in tshark. No other package is linked to.
- Changelog
