Now that subversion is in place for SCM, I've prepared a patch which moves the packet-*.[ch] files from the top-level directory to a directory named "epan/dissectors". I've changed the Makefile.nmake's, but I have no resource to test on Win32.


Could you strip the leading packet- from the filenames while you are at it?

Is this really a good idea?

We have a lot of files with the actual dissectors (prefix packet-) and some other helper files at the same level without it.

If you remove the prefixes, you cannot distinguish between real dissectors and helper files.

But I don't know if this difference is essential, both approaches would be ok for me.

I would like to have dissector sources and dissector-helper sources moved to epan/dissectors to make life and nmake makefiles easier.
Thus I'd like to have our naming convention for dissectors kept.
