The following guidelines should be followed by anyone distributing a software
|
|
package containing Wireshark:
|
|
|
|
1. URLs.
|
|
|
|
1.1. Wireshark web site.
|
|
|
|
The Wireshark web site URL is http://www.wireshark.org/ .
|
|
|
|
1.2. Wireshark releases.
|
|
|
|
The canonical location for every Wireshark source release is
|
|
|
|
http://www.wireshark.org/download/src/all-versions/, e.g.
|
|
|
|
http://www.wireshark.org/download/src/all-versions/wireshark-0.99.55.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
If your packaging system downloads a copy of the Wireshark sources, use
|
|
this location. Don't use http://www.wireshark.org/download/src.
|
|
|
|
1.3. Artwork.
|
|
|
|
Logo and icon artwork can be found in the "image" directory in the
|
|
distribution. This is available online at
|
|
|
|
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk/image/
|
|
|
|
2. Licensing.
|
|
|
|
Wireshark is released under the GNU General Public License. Make sure
|
|
your package complies with this license, or we send in the marmots.
|
|
|
|
3. Privileges.
|
|
|
|
In versions up to and including 0.99.6, it was necessary to run
|
|
Wireshark with elevated privileges in order to be able to capture
|
|
traffic. With version 0.99.7, all function calls that require elevated
|
|
privileges have been moved out of the GUI to dumpcap.
|
|
|
|
WIRESHARK CONTAINS OVER ONE POINT FIVE MILLION LINES OF SOURCE CODE. DO
|
|
NOT RUN THEM AS ROOT.
|
|
|
|
If desired, you can use the configure option "--enable-setuid-install=yes"
|
|
to install dumpcap and TShark setuid root. This will allow normal users
|
|
to capture traffic.
|
|
|
|
4. Customization.
|
|
|
|
Custom version information can be added by creating a file called
|
|
"version.conf". See make-version.pl for details. If your package
|
|
contains significant changes we recommend that you use this to
|
|
differentiate it from official Wireshark releases.
|
|
|
|
4.1. Source-level version detection.
|
|
|
|
The SVN version corresponding to each release is in svnversion.h. It's
|
|
defined as a string. If you need a numeric definition, let us know.
|
|
|
|
5. Trademarks.
|
|
|
|
Wireshark and the "fin" logo are registered trademarks of Gerald Combs.
|
|
|
|
6. Spelling.
|
|
|
|
Wireshark is spelled with a capital "W", and with everything else lower
|
|
case. E.g., "WireShark" is incorrect.
|
|
|
