Try creating a script for Debian and derivatives that will grab the

Maybe it should parse the "Build-Depends:" line in debian/control and
get the list of packages to install from there, so that only one file
in the source tree has a list of Debian dependencies.
(And perhaps use the Requires: lines from
packaging/rpm/SPECS/wireshark.spec.in in scripts for RPM-based
Linuxes? It'd probably have to stick -dev after the package names.)
Not a bad idea; having to manually yum install the appropriate
dependencies has annoyed me.
Manually adding -devel shouldn't really be necessary if/once we have
the appropriate Requires: and BuildRequires: entries (the latter would
contain all the appropriate -devel packages).
(The .spec file I use has both Requires and BuildRequires; if I can
ever find the time to finish cleaning it up, I'll check it in.)
Yes, please. Still treading water until this comes along. ;)
Thanks,
