An immediate (and quite common) solution could be managing this particular knob 
by means of a long option like --setdir with no single-letter synonym. Once 
someone resolves the getopt_long() problem it will be possible to refine things 
further.

[tcpdump-workers] June 10, 2012 in the change logs

2013-10-23 Thread Denis Ovsienko
Hello.

Commit 3811829 in tcpdump-htdocs adds missing lines from tcpdump and libpcap 
repositories and discards a custom modified line in the "htdocs" version of the 
change logs:

-Friday  March 30, 2012/June 10, 2012.  m...@sandelman.ca
+Friday  March 30, 2012.  m...@sandelman.ca

-Friday  April 3, 2012/June 10, 2012.  m...@sandelman.ca.
+Friday  April 3, 2012.  m...@sandelman.ca.

If the (now removed) 2nd date meant something important, I can make it into all 
files consistently.
