This directory contains virgin copies of the original distribution files
on a "vendor" branch. Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to upgrade
the files in this directory via patches and a cvs commit.

To upgrade to a newer version of libpcap, when it is available:
1996-08-19 21:55:18 +00:00
1. Unpack the new version into an empty directory.
[Do not make ANY changes to the files.]
2. Use the command:
cvs import -m 'Virgin import of LBL libpcap v<version>' \
-I SUNOS4 -I linux-include \
src/contrib/libpcap LBL v<version>
1996-08-19 21:55:18 +00:00
For example, to do the import of version 0.2.1, I typed:
cvs import -m 'Virgin import of LBL libpcap v0.2.1' \
-I SUNOS4 -I linux-include \
src/contrib/libpcap LBL v0_2_1
1996-08-19 21:55:18 +00:00
3. Follow the instructions printed out in step 2 to resolve any
conflicts between local FreeBSD changes and the newer version.
4. Update the shared library version number in
src/lib/libpcap/Makefile as described in the
handbook section 18.
1996-08-19 21:55:18 +00:00
Do not, under any circumstances, deviate from this procedure.
1996-10-01 01:08:47 +00:00
To make local changes to libpcap, simply patch and commit to the main
1996-08-19 21:55:18 +00:00
branch (aka HEAD). Never make local changes on the LBL branch.
All local changes should be submitted to "libpcap@ee.lbl.gov" for
1996-08-19 21:55:18 +00:00
inclusion in the next vendor release of tcpdump and libpcap.
