Sunday, June 24, 2018, by mcr@sandelman.ca Summary for 1.9.0 libpcap release Added testing system to libpcap, independent of tcpdump Changes to how pcap_t is activated Adding support for Large stream buffers on Endace DAG cards Changes to BSD 3-clause license to 2-clause licence Additions to TCP header parsing, per RFC3168 Add CMake build process (extensive number of changes) Assign a value for OpenBSD DLT_OPENFLOW. Support setting non-blocking mode before activating. Extensive build support for Windows VS2010 and MINGW (many many changes, over many months) Added RPCAPD support when --enable-remote (default no) Add the rpcap daemon source and build instructions. Put back the greasy "save the capture filter string so we can tweak it" hack, that keeps libpcap from capturing rpcap traffic. Fixes for captures on MacOS, utun0 fixes so that non-AF_INET addresses, are not ==AF_INET6 addresses. Add a linktype for IBM SDLC frames containing SNA PDUs. pcap_compile() in 1.8.0 and later is newly thread-safe. bound snaplen for linux tpacket_v2 to ~64k Make VLAN filter handle both metadata and inline tags D-Bus captures can now be up to 128MB in size Added LORATAP DLT value Added DLT_VSOCK for http://qemu-project.org/Features/VirtioVsock probe_devices() fixes not to overrun buffer for name of device Add linux-specific pcap_set_protocol_linux() to allow specifying a specific capture protocol. RDMA sniffing support for pcap Add Nordic Semiconductor Bluetooth LE sniffer link-layer header type. fixes for reading /etc/ethers Make it possible to build on Windows without packet.dll. Add tests for large file support on UN*X. Solaris fixes to work with 2.8.6 configuration test now looks for header files, not capture devices present Fix to work with Berkeley YACC. fixes for DragonBSD compilation of pcap-netmap.c Clean up the ether_hostton() stuff. Add an option to disable Linux memory-mapped capture support. Add DAG API support checks. Add Septel, Myricom SNF, and Riverbed TurboCap checks. Add checks for Linux USB, Linux Bluetooth, D-Bus, and RDMA sniffing support. Add a check for hardware time stamping on Linux. Don't bother supporting pre-2005 Visual Studio. Increased minimum autoconf version requirement to 2.64 Add DLT value 273 for XRA-31 sniffer Clean up handing of signal interrupts in pcap_read_nocb_remote(). Use the XPG 4.2 versions of the networking APIs in Solaris. Fix, and better explain, the "IPv6 means IPv6, not IPv4" option setting. Explicitly warn that negative packet buffer timeouts should not be used. rpcapd: Add support inetd-likes, including xinetd.conf, and systemd units Rename DLT_IEEE802_15_4 to DLT_IEEE802_15_4_WITHFCS. Add DISPLAYPORT AUX link type Remove the sunos4 kernel modules and all references to them. Add more interface flags to pcap_findalldevs(). Summary for 1.9.0 libpcap release (to 2017-01-25 by guy@alum.mit.edu) Man page improvements Fix Linux cooked mode userspace filtering (GitHub pull request #429) Fix compilation if IPv6 support not enabled Fix some Linux memory-mapped capture buffer size issues Don't fail if kernel filter can't be set on Linux (GitHub issue #549) Improve sorting of interfaces for pcap_findalldevs() Don't list Linux usbmon devices if usbmon module isn't loaded Report PCAP_ERROR_PERM_DENIED if no permission to open Linux usbmon devices Fix DLT_ type for Solaris IPNET devices Always return an error message for errors finding DAG or Myricom devices If possible, don't require that a device be openable when enumerating them for pcap_findalldevs() Don't put incompletely-initialized addresses in the address list for When finding Myricom devices, update description for regular interfaces that are Myricom devices and handle SNF_FLAGS=0x2(port aggregation enabled) Fix compilation error in DAG support Fix issues with CMake configuration Add support for stream buffers larger than 2GB on newer DAG cards Remove support for building against DAG versions without STREAMS support (before dag-3.0.0 2007) |

$NetBSD: README,v 1.17 2018/04/08 16:57:07 jmcneill Exp $ Organization of Sources: This directory hierarchy is using an organization that separates source for programs that we have obtained from external third parties (where NetBSD is not the primary maintainer) from the system source. The hierarchy is grouped by license, and then package per license, and is organized as follows: external/ Makefile Descend into the license sub-directories. <license>/ Per-license sub-directories. Makefile Descend into the package sub-directories. <package>/ Per-package sub-directories. Makefile Build the package. dist/ The third-party source for a given package. bin/ lib/ sbin/ BSD makefiles "reach over" from these into "../dist/". This arrangement allows for packages to be easily disabled or excised as necessary, either on a per-license or per-package basis. The licenses currently used are: apache2 Apache 2.0 license. http://www.opensource.org/licenses/apache2.0.php atheros Atheros License. bsd BSD (or equivalent) licensed software, possibly with the "advertising clause". http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php cddl Common Development and Distribution License (the sun license which is based on the Mozilla Public License version 1.1). http://www.opensource.org/licenses/cddl1.php gpl2 GNU Public License, version 2 (or earlier). http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.php gpl3 GNU Public License, version 3. http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html historical Lucent's old license: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/historical.php ibm-public IBM's public license: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/ibmpl.php intel-fw-eula Intel firmware license with redistribution restricted to OEM. intel-fw-public Intel firmware license permitting redistribution with terms similar to BSD licensed software. intel-public Intel license permitting redistribution with terms similar to BSD licensed software. mit MIT (X11) style license. http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php mpl Mozilla Public license. https://opensource.org/licenses/MPL-2.0 nvidia-firmware NVIDIA firmware license permitting redistribution for use on operating systems distributed under the terms of an OSI-approved open source license. public-domain Non-license for code that has been explicitly put into the Public Domain. realtek RealTek license. zlib Zlib (BSD-like) license. http://www.zlib.net/zlib_license.html If a package has components covered by different licenses (for example, GPL2 and the LGPL), use the <license> subdirectory for the more restrictive license. If a package allows the choice of a license to use, we'll generally use the less restrictive license. If in doubt about where a package should be located, please contact <core@NetBSD.org> for advice. Migration Strategy: Eventually src/dist (and associated framework in other base source directories) and src/gnu will be migrated to this hierarchy. Maintenance Strategy: The sources under src/external/<license>/<package>/dist/ are generally a combination of a published distribution plus changes that we submit to the maintainers and that are not yet published by them. Make sure all changes made to the external sources are submitted to the appropriate maintainer, but only after coordinating with the NetBSD maintainers.
