Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] RTPS & RTPS2 packet dissectors

Hi Fabrizio,

The new dissectors are already in the right place. You'll have to understand that once Wireshark 1.0 went out the door it is considered stable. That means no new or changed features, just bug fixes go in. All new development, new features etc go into the development tree (where rtps[2].c also live), hence will automatically be included in the upcoming stable release (1.2) due in June this year. Have a look at http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/ReleaseNumbers and http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/Roadmap to see what's going on.

Thanx,
Jaap

All,
Does anybody know why the RTPS and RTPS2 packet dissectors (epan/dissectors/packet-rtps.c, epan/dissectors/packet-rtps2.c and their relative header files) are not part of the official wireshark distributions? I�ve submitted the new packet dissectors long time ago. It got approved and checked in the main repository, but they are not part of any source distributions. The RTPS packet dissector that shows up in the official distribution is an older version and considered now obsolete. What is the right procedure to push the new dissectors in the release process?
