Re: linux package requirements for wireshark build

["Maynard, Chris" <Christopher.Maynard () IGT com>]

The last line of tools/install_rpms_for_devel.sh is:

echo "This tool has been obsoleted by tools/rpm-setup.sh"

So would it be better to use tools/rpm-setup.sh instead?

Whichever one is recommend, maybe it would be a good idea to mention it in the Wireshark developer’s guide, such as in 
Section 3.11.2[1], for example?

wireshark.  If there is one, let me know.

I generally just run `tools/install_rpms_for_devel.sh` to install all the necessary dependencies.
You could also take a look in `packaging/rpm/SPECS/wireshark.spec.in<http://wireshark.spec.in>` or the various README
