Hi,

I’m currently working on the prerequisiteCheck for my new plc4c module and am 
testing on empty OSes (OSes without any installed additional software)
I noticed there are tests like the Raw-Socket test that naturally fail if you 
don’t have libpcap (or the windows counterpart installed) …

We now have two options:

  1.  Make libpcap mandatory
  2.  Disable any test that is libpcap related

1) is the more secure version, but I think some people might have objections to 
installing libpcap on their systems.

How about automatically disabling these tests and to have a check in the 
prerequisiteChecks to not allow doing an “apache-release” without libpcap?

Got any other ideas?

Chris
