This is what I do (and what the sourceforge page [1] states). 1st time 
checkout:

 git clone git://bpf.tcpdump.org/libpcap

Then  "git fetch" to update. But using Sourceforge to commit patches and
feature requests is not ideal IMHO (besides SF is so slow). Why not send
patches to this list so reach a larger audience of critical readers?

Assuming that this statement applied to everything that was on that web

it seems that we should reasonably be able to conclude that the
statement applies to it all.

Is there someone that lives in the right part of the Bay Area, that can

relevant person?

A shared libpcap that was linked correctly would indicate it's
dependancy on that library and it would get loaded.  If the library

also be built into rpm/dpkg/pkg_add/etc.

Basically, that 90% of the point of autoconf.

seems to be a reasonable cheat sheet.

Alternatively, visit github, get an account, upload your ssh public key,
etc. 
Visit github.com/mcr/tcpdump, and fork the code.
Then use the github's URL, like:
 git clone g...@github.com:myname/tcpdump.git

and then push to that repo, and ask me to do a pullup.  

The two methods are *NOT* mutually exclusive.  Assuming that you already
git the clone from bpf.tcpdump,org,  you can do the github fork, and do:
cd libpcap 
git remote add github g...@github.com:myname/libpcap.git
git push github master

(that's how I get the merged code from github back onto
bpf.tcpdump.org...) 

Since git can publish over HTTP, you can even just tar/ssh, scp, or
symlink your repo into your web space, and say "here is the URL", but
there are some limitations of http: URLs relating to caches, and
compression and the like.

I hope your e-mail didn't use any masculine pronouns when referring to Petra:

http://www.linkedin.com/in/petrasoderling

:-)

Not that it matters, as the Nokia unit whose appliances used IPSO was sold to 
Check Point:

http://www.checkpoint.com/nokia/welcome/index.html

so the mutant flavor of tcpdump (and probably of libpcap and possibly even the 
kernel BPF code) now belongs to them.-

Oops, thanks for pointing that out.  Luckily, I only used "you" in my e-mail to
her and no gender-specific pronouns.

Well, if she's no longer the person in charge of open source at Nokia, there
might be a chance she knows who is and can either let me know or forward my
request to that person.  I won't hold my breath though.

OK, well I decided to open a checkpoint service request about this, basically
asking them for more information regarding the IPSO tcpdump/libpcap file format.
 I understand that they are under no obligation to release any of this
information, so it's doubtful I'll receive anything.  On the other hand, it's
certain that I won't receive anything if I don't even ask for it, so I figured
I'd take a chance.  In the unlikely event that they do share some information
with me, I'll be sure to pass it along.

Re: [tcpdump-workers] Fwd: New datasource implementation

[Akos Vandra]

Mkay, I think I did it... Although I'm not sure :)

@Guy Harris: I dropped the ARM trace thing, it turned out that
wireshark is not really suitable for what I want to do. This is
another project, that adds support for a canusb adapter, and uses
DLT_SOCKETCAN, so there is no need for a new DLT.

Please check: axos88/libpcap.git

Regards,
  Ákos Vandra

P.S. Why are configure and config.h.in tracked? Shouldn't these be
generated by autoconf and autoheader?

So this adapter doesn't just show up as a regular SocketCAN network adapter 
when you plug it in?-

No, it doesn't. It's a device designed by myself, I just adjusted its
output format to be the same as DLT_SOCKETCAN expects.
