Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] How to test legacy (glib-compat) code

From: Joerg Mayer <jmayer@xxxxxxxxx>

Hello,

I've created a merge request (https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/merge_requests/4820)
that requires a newer version (2.56) of glib than the minimum we require in cmake (2.38), so
I created a glib-compat entry to emulate the required functionality via an older function that
has been deprecated (2.62)

Two questions:
1) Is any of our buildbots running on such an old version of glib so I know that it compiles?
2) Is there a way to test whether the compat code (text2pcap) actually works? I have no problem
   to provide/commit a testfile.

Thanks!
   Jörg

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
