Ok, I'm fine with removing them. In Debian they are needed by netexpect. BTW may I ask why are they not welcomed?
You could probably google that :-) but here's the summary: The library was only created to share the code between the binaries but there is nothing like a stable or even well thought off API. If you look at the list of includes for the -dev package: It should speak for itself. While we know that some programs use libwireshark they do this at their own "risk" - we don't officially support this so we are free to break the API any time and without notice during the development realeases. Maybe if echld/ ever gets mainstream, that could become an "official" API for third party programs to access the dissection engine. Ciao Jörg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
