It will require both upstreams to merge? Or do you can create a Debian package that merges two upstreams tarballs? How? I'm just curious. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hi Ansgar, My idea is maintain the package. The pcaputils has an unique source, developed and packaged by same person. I will build and put the pcapfix in mentors.debian.net tomorrow. Can you sponsor this package for me??? Thanks in advance.

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Joao Eriberto Mota Filho eribe...@eriberto.pro.br * Package name: pcapfix Version : 0.7.2 Upstream Author : Robert Krause rup...@f00l.de * URL : http://f00l.de/pcapfix * License : GPL3 Programming Lang: C Description : repair broken pcap files pcapfix tries to repair your broken pcap files fixing the global header and recovering the packets by searching and guessing the packet headers. . The tool first checks for an intact pcap global header and repairs the all file if there are some corrupted bytes. It there seems to be no global header at all, pcapfix adds a self-created one at the beginning of the file. In a second step the tool tries to find pcap packet headers inside the file, below the global header. It checks if the values are correct (or seem to be correct) and tries to repair a packet if there is something wrong. . But, why? Sometimes your captured pcap files (from tcpdump, Wireshark or other) got cut off or are being corrupted in other ways. Although some captured the flag challenges deal with damaged pcap files periodically. . pcapfix will first step through the packets top down until it recognizes a corrupted one by using plausibility checks. After that the tool will brute force further pcap packet headers by reading the file byte by byte. If another proper packet is found, pcapfix restores the data in between by adding a well-formed pcap packet header. .
