This was originally filed as bug 9569. The situation is sufficiently unusual that I really don't know what the best solution is, so I figured I'd ask for general comments from the list. The company who created and used the TPNCP protocol (and submitted the packet-tpncp.c dissector) wants to reuse that name for a new, different protocol and are asking us to disable the old dissector to avoid conflicts. The bug has more detail. https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9569
I just added the following to the bug: """ My preferred solution would be to keep the old protocol as version 1, add the new protocol as version 2 into the same dissector and add a preference to select which version to use (with a default of 2). It doesn't have to be 1 or 2 of course. """ 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
