wireshark 1.2.8 is already in the tree, so only stabilization is needed. pva, stabilization for 1.2.8 ok?

[Comment 1 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2010-05-08 06:10:36 UTC]

There are some patches from upstream to test, so I'd like to resolve bug 316835 first.

[Comment 2 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2010-05-10 05:09:06 UTC]

Arch teams, please, stabilize net-analyzer/wireshark-1.2.8-r1.

config.log on x86 with use=profile

It fails terribly during configure when USE=profile is set on x86! Everything else looks good.

Andreas, next time, please, use the force! (google)

This is bug 318385 or many others same way invalid bugs. Don't set USE=profile until you know what it is.

[Comment 8 Andreas Schürch 2010-05-11 07:04:56 UTC]

Ok, i see... Sorry for the noise.

As this really seems often reported... How about "die", as the other message just flashed by to fast for me in the early morning! ;-)

if use profile && is-flag -fomit-frame-pointer; then
  die "USE=\"profile\" doesn't work with fomit-frame-pointer... "
fi
