Package: tcpreplay Version: 4.4.0-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear maintainer,
when configuring tcpreplay the configure script provides the following warning: | checking for libdnet... no | configure: WARNING: libdnet not found, disabling fragroute feature and then the following configuration results: | ########################################################################## | TCPREPLAY Suite Configuration Results (4.4.0) | ########################################################################## | libpcap: /usr (>= 0.9.6) | PF_RING libpcap no | libdnet: no ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | autogen: /usr/bin/autogen (5.18.16) | Use libopts tearoff: yes | 64bit counter support: yes | tcpdump binary path: /usr/bin/tcpdump | fragroute support: no | tcpbridge support: yes | tcpliveplay support: yes | | Supported Packet Injection Methods (*): | Linux TX_RING: no | Linux PF_PACKET: yes | BSD BPF: no | libdnet: no ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | pcap_inject: yes | pcap_sendpacket: yes ** | pcap_netmap no | Linux/BSD netmap: no | Tuntap device support: yes (cf. e.g. <https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=tcpreplay&arch=amd64&ver=4.4.0-1&stamp=1644097626&raw=0>) However, merely adding libdumbnet-dev to B-D like this here | diff -Nru tcpreplay-4.4.0/debian/control tcpreplay-4.4.0/debian/control | --- tcpreplay-4.4.0/debian/control 2022-01-31 23:39:12.000000000 +0100 | +++ tcpreplay-4.4.0/debian/control 2022-03-04 21:55:20.000000000 +0100 | @@ -8,6 +8,7 @@ | autogen, | libpcap0.8-dev, | tcpdump, | + libdumbnet-dev, | Priority: optional | Rules-Requires-Root: no | Section: net and then rebuilding results in | checking for libdnet... /usr | checking for dumbnet.h... yes and then | ########################################################################## | TCPREPLAY Suite Configuration Results (4.4.0) | ########################################################################## | libpcap: /usr (>= 0.9.6) | PF_RING libpcap no | libdnet: /usr 1.14 (libdumbnet) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | autogen: /usr/bin/autogen (5.18.16) | Use libopts tearoff: yes | 64bit counter support: yes | tcpdump binary path: /usr/bin/tcpdump | fragroute support: yes | tcpbridge support: yes | tcpliveplay support: yes | | Supported Packet Injection Methods (*): | Linux TX_RING: no | Linux PF_PACKET: yes | BSD BPF: no | libdnet: yes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | pcap_inject: yes | pcap_sendpacket: yes ** | pcap_netmap no | Linux/BSD netmap: no | Tuntap device support: yes i.e. enabling fragroute support and the libdnet injection method. The binary package debdiff then merely indicates the additional dependency on libdumbnet1: | Control files of package tcpreplay: lines which differ (wdiff format) | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Depends: libc6 (>= 2.33), {+libdumbnet1 (>= 1.8),+} libpcap0.8 (>= 0.9.8) | Installed-Size: [-1900-] {+1950+} | Version: [-4.4.0-1-] {+4.4.0-1.1+} Please consider whether it's worthwhile to include libdumbnet support into tcpreplay, thanks. Oh, JFTR, libdnet was renamed in Debian to libdumbnet due to a naming conflict with a DECnet library, but luckily tcpreplay knows how to deal with that, see above. The project lay dormant for quite some time but now found a new upstream. Disclaimer: I am the new libdumbnet maintainer, so of course I am biased on whether libdumbnet should be used. Cheers, Flo
