Re: What's the process to get a Zookeeper dissector packaged with wireshark?

[Dario Lombardo <dario.lombardo.ml () gmail com>]

Basically you're right. If it's not included, it's because no one pushed a
change for inclusion. Wireshark includes as many protocols as possible and
zookeeper would be definitively accepted.
Before starting, be sure that something doesn't exist out there: you could
start for someone else's code (according to its licence, of course) and not
start from scratch.
When submitting the dissector, please be sure to add sample captures for
testing. To add them, just file a bug on bugzilla with your attachments,
and add a reference "Bug: XXX" in your commit message that will
automatically link the bugzilla page.
Dario.
