Hi,

I'm trying to figure out when the next release of libpcap is scheduled for or if there is a tentative schedule. As I understand the next release is 1.0, so is 0.9.9 not going to be released? The reason I am trying to figure out these questions is because I'm working on bundling libpcap with Solaris. I contributed changes to libpcap that provides support for new Solaris features (1882884) and was integrated into the main and 1.0 branch by Guy Harris (Thank you!) but without the changes in latest release of libpcap, it would not make sense to bundle libpcap into Solaris.

Thanks in advance for your help.
With the discussion so far I gather that the release date of libpcap1.0 is not determined and does not seem to be imminent. As I mentioned in order to bundle libpcap into Solaris, a libpcap version that has libdlpi is needed. So I'm trying to see how this can be done without having to maintain a separate tree.

I have been trying to access the tcpdump.org site but it seems to be down. So I'll ask my question here. Does the development gate (cvs repository) correspond to the releases of the current version?

The source download version from sourceforge is 0.8.1 so I guess it isn't possible to get the latest bits from the sourceforge.

Thanks,

Sagun
