Notes from Sharkfest '13

The following subjects came up during developer discussions at Sharkfest this year: Sub-PDUs (aka aggregated PDUs). In many cases protocol data and frame boundaries don't match, particularly when a single frame carries multiple protocols. Should we turn the packet list be a tree? If so, what should frame numbers look like? Git (cue ominous music). I managed to install SubGit (a bidirectional Git ↔ SVN gateway) a few months ago. It seems very nice but I wasn't crazy about the idea of managing our current repository count times two. I think we should just switch over to Git in the near term but I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on this. If you would be severly impacted by moving to Git please respond to the list or let me know privately. Otherwise I'll start planning the switch for later this summer. Moving to Github. Assuming we switch to Git it would be possible to host the official repository at Github. Advantates: - I'm not sure that an in-house equivalent (e.g. Gerrit plus a private repository) would be better than what Github offers. - It would be less for me to worry about / manage. Disadvantages: - This would mean transitioning to an different workflow. Qt. We need to coordinate work (e.g. so that we don't inadvertently interfere with Thomas' GSoC effort). It would be helpful if autofoo supported both GTK+ and Qt builds (I think Jeff is looking into this). We should probably evaluate the status of the port in December or January in order to figure out the timing of the next release. C++. It snuck in with Qt. Should we allow C++ in the rest of the code or at least use C++ compilation everywhere? Fileshark. (Evan discussed in detail in a separate email) Sharkfest Europe. I think everyone is for it in general, but it's a matter of getting it organized. Even if we don't have an official Sharkfest event I think another EU developer meeting at some point would be useful. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
