I have provided some time ago a patch for submission into wireshark (Bug #5753). Over the course of the next two weeks a new version of this patch would be completed, which would enable the dissector to talk Modbus/TCP as well. But this version would be very preliminary, and not stable for a longer time.
"Not stable" or "not complete"? I think incomplete dissectors are OK as they can always be improved upon later as time permits, but unstable is not acceptable.
Should I remove the current patch and resubmit it with the changes, or should I wait until this version of the patch gets submitted (which is pretty stable right now), and then submit the changes?
The latest patch you provided seems to have been reviewed by Guy, Jeff and Jakub. I *think* it's probably close to the point of being accepted, so I'd say rather than introducing another patch that "might not be stable for a longer time", that you should hold off until after this patch has been accepted. Another patch at this point might prolong the time it takes to be accepted, but I guess it depends somewhat on the extent of your new changes and if you really meant "not complete" rather than "not stable". ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
