Where is the AUTHORS file located in the source

The 'AUTHORS' file in SVN should list everyone who has ever had a
patch accepted, not just people with commit access.

Hi Pascal,

As you have mentioned "If your patch is considered as good enough, it will
be committed to the subversion repository by one of the core developers.",
I'd like to know if the list of core developers & community developers
available somewhere.

Hi,

there is no registration needed. All you need is to follow the advices
found here:
http://www.wireshark.org/develop.html
This page contains links to useful docs like the developer's user guide:
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked
Then once you want to start coding, the doc folder (located at the
root of the source code tree) contains a lot of useful stuff also.

Usually people working on a feature / bug fix submit a bug report to
https://bugs.wireshark.org/ and attach their patch for review. If your
patch is considered as good enough, it will be committed to the
subversion repository by one of the core developers.
If you do not have any specific idea on what to work on, they are
plenty of bugs waiting for a contributor :)

Best regards,
Pascal.

Re: [Wireshark-dev] New developer - how to start?

[Dipanjan Das]

Hi Tyson,

Thanks for your detailed reply.

But, still I am having a doubt. If, being a developer, someone makes an
unintentional mistake & commits the same to SVN, then it will get released
in the next Wireshark build. Isn't it? Is there any quality control process
/ monitoring system for that?


Also, does ViewVc interface make it possible to find all the commits made
by a developer? If not, then is it possible some other way?

Re: [Wireshark-dev] New developer - how to start?

[Tyson Key]

Hi Dipanjan,

There isn't really a formal registration process, but registering at
http://bugs.wireshark.org/ is a good place to start. As for "tasks" - there
isn't a formal list of mandatory activities (but there is a wishlist on the
wiki, which might be vaguely interesting); and things are fairly ad-hoc -
you just think "I'd like to implement feature X", do it, and post a diff on
the bug tracker.

If you think that you're going to do something that conflicts with what
others are doing, then it's a good idea to ask on this list, first.

I hope that helps - and welcome aboard!

Tyson.

[Wireshark-dev] New developer - how to start?

[Dipanjan Das]

Hi Developers,

I want to get myself involved in the development of Wireshark. Can anybody
please let me know about the following:

   1. Is there anywhere I need to get myself registered as a developer?
   2. How are the tasks splitted across?
   3. How is the synchronization among developers done?

TIA.

Dipanjan
