IMO: snoop should have no new development beyond whatever is needed to
keep it working, and it should stay for the reasons given in this thread
-- all new dissectors should be made for wireshark.
Yes, that's essentially my opinion as well.
Not surprisingly, mine as well.
The key architectural issue was that we really didn't want to burden
project teams with having to modify *both* of them, and it was fairly
clear that wireshark was such a better answer that pouring more effort
into snoop is just plain silly.
As for the S10 argument, I don't buy it. The list of truly novel
protocols being backported _today_ from Nevada/OpenSolaris to some
(unscheduled?) feature Update release of S10 has to be extraordinarily
short. Letting snoop wither as Obsolete -- once we have wireshark as a
packaged alternative -- seems like the best answer.
Agreed... however if some protocol *were* backported to S10, then you
have the situation where you might have to touch both tools. This
sounds like (yet) another incentive to stop backporting stuff to
Solaris 10, to me.
