As discussed previously we'll drop support for Qt 4 and GTK+ in the master branch after master-2.6 is created. Unless there are strong objections I'd like to bump the minimum GLib version to 2.32.
+1 dropping Q4 / GTK+ (2|3) after 2.6 As for Glib version, as long as we have a clear view 'who we’re going to loose', that should be fine.
I'd also like your opinion on doing the following: Deprecating or removing Autotools. We'd need generate source tarballs using another method, e.g. tools/git-export-release.sh.
As long as we have other means to make the (important) targets, and square the packaging (Deb’s, RPM’s, etc) out, that’s fine by me. If we do remove this, then it should go before GTK removal, otherwise autotools builds would need fixing, and then being dropped.
Shipping the Windows installers with Npcap.
License, legal, yada yada yada...
Renaming protocols to match current reality, e.g. "bootp" to "dhcp" and "ssl" to "tls".
I’m not sure, would much be gained? ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
