Hi, As for the options proposed by Dario, 1) git submodules basically pins a specific commit of an external repository into your repository. It also requires additional git commands to checkout and move the ‘pin’ forward when anything is added to the external repo which is desired in the git repo. In my experience it is useful to include specific (release-)tags from external libraries, which develop on their own pace, not s much for development in parallel which is our use case. 2) git lfs could be interesting, but also makes it more complex for users, needing to install additional git features. In my experience something to be used strategically, I was a bit underwhelmed when finding 128 byte capture files stored with git lfs. Although I’ve little experience with happy-shark, in theory I would like to see a (especially a TCP) test suite independent of Wireshark version, which is could probably best served by happy-shark. Thanks, Jaap
