141154 2006-07-20 05:03 0000 net-wireless/wifiscanner transition to wireshark. 2006-07-25 02:44:06 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Unspecified unspecified All Linux RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 141150 1 dragonheart@gentoo.org mobile@gentoo.org dragonheart@gentoo.org 2006-07-20 05:03:20 0000 Ethereal is vulnerable and has no devs to fix it. Wireshark is the fixed continuation. (bug 140856) Wireshark provide the same wiretap library as ethereal so really only a DEPEND change is needed. It compiles fine with wireshark's wiretap library. dragonheart@gentoo.org 2006-07-20 06:12:39 0000 Added wifiscanner-1.0.1-r1.ebuild to support wireshark. Will remove wifiscanner-1.0.1 if no faults are reported within about a week(?). looking at diff -ruN /var/tmp/portage/ethereal-0.99.0-r1/work/ethereal-0.99.0/wiretap/ /var/tmp/portage/wireshark-0.99.2/work/wireshark-0.99.2/wiretap/ Shows the addition of a couple of files but otherwise mainly buildsystem and document changes. Will close when wifiscanner-1.0.1 is removed. gentoo@nephros.org 2006-07-25 02:15:43 0000 I'm getting this: * checking 17 files for package collisions existing file /usr/lib/libwiretap.la is not owned by this package [...] package net-wireless/wifiscanner-1.0.1-r1 NOT merged [scourge]~ # equery b /usr/lib/libwiretap.la [ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib/libwiretap.la in *... ] net-analyzer/ethereal-0.99.0-r1 (/usr/lib/libwiretap.la) Am I supposed to remove ethereal (and install wireshark) before merging wiretap? gentoo@nephros.org 2006-07-25 02:17:02 0000 ... sorry I meant "before merging wifiscanner". dragonheart@gentoo.org 2006-07-25 02:44:06 0000 an unmerge of ethereal followed by a emerge of wireshark should be sufficient. If a reemerge of wifiscanner is needed, because wifiscanner fails to run with wireshark's wiretap libraries, please let me know. wifiscanner-1.0.1 has been removed.
