And as you'll have to make the source of your customizations available, you might as well submit them to the core project where they'll be maintained and packages for all your required platforms will be automatically built.

Hi,

Note that under GPL you are obliged to supply the source code of your modifications if you distribute binaries to your customers.

I would use the development version to get the bleeding edge stuff or the latest stable if stability is more of an issue.

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] What Wireshark base version to use for customization

 

Hi all,

 

I have the task to customize and package a custom Wireshark version, so we can provide that to our customers. 

 

I wonder what Wireshark version should I use as base. The latest stable release or the development release? 

 

Also, I have been looking for the information to package binaries. So far, I have found the README files, and the Development webpage. Any other source of information I can take a look at? My plan is to provide binaries for some Linux distributions, Solaris, MacOS and Windows.

 

Thanks,

Juanjo Martin
