At the moment I am using sed to do that, but hadn't realized that it
would affect the RPM name as well. The hash I am using is going to
make the RPM names look ugly.
I wanted something that involves no modifications to the main
wireshark sources so that upstream changes are easy to pull in, and
what I have now is a single additional shell script that should not
collide with anything in Wireshark.
I am going to have to think carefully about the version string because
it should be clear to developers that there are differences and it
should be easy to track the RPM and version of Wireshark back to the
change in the suppliers of the XDR files causing the change.
