Hi, Mind you that it would make back porting to trunk-1.4 of packet list related code more difficult since the source code will diverge. That means more manual back porting, which is more laborious and error prone (sorry Gerald). I would suggest holding off on stripping trunk of old packet list code, but not to maintain it. After we put >1.4.1 'in the wild' and survives real user scrutiny it time to start ripping it out IMHO. Thanks, JaapI agree with you, just to be clear not having NEW_PACKET_LIST defined is not expected to Work in trunk any more. Perhapps adding comments about that and/or change it to #if 0 if edditing a file for Other reasons? Regards AndersHi, The only thing to be done in trunk is to remove the configuration option or add a 'no longer functional' remark to the item Changing to #if 0 would also invalidate patches for back porting.
Would moving to Git or Mercurial help for this? ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
