#22746 closed enhancement (fixed)

wireshark 1.2.4 enhancement: libsmi

Reported by: cwt@… Owned by: ghosthound
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.8.1
Keywords: Cc: hsivank@…, miken32 (Michael Newton)
Port: wireshark

Description

For some number of releases going back at least to 1.0.6, wireshark has replaced net-snmp for mib decoding, instead using libsmi. At least as of wireshark 1.0.6, our port can trivially be modified to support a libsmi variant:

variant libsmi {

configure.args-append --with-libsmi depends_lib-append port:libsmi

}

I was able to build a functional, mib translating wireshark using libsmi for wireshark 1.0.6 with this change. I have not tried for 1.2.4 but it would seem likely to work here as well.

It may not even make sense to have a net-snmp variant any longer because I believe wireshark will not use it even if asked for (should be verified).

Patch works fine for 1.25. Wireshark has removed the net-snmp requirement from their build completely, due to licensing preferences. The --with-net-snmp argument does nothing.
