Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well
I am new to this email group, so I'm not sure if this is the correct place
to ask this question
But I was wondering when Wireshark v4.6.2 will be available on the Ubuntu
stable PPA?
I see that I can get version 4.6.1 from stable-staging, but that's the
version with an issue (if I'm not mistaken)?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Rhonda Smithbey

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Installed protocol header file cleanup
Hi all,
As of commit b5b868d6b6, Wireshark's master branch now automatically
generates the list of dissector header files that are included in the
"install" target. This removes a bunch of headers for protocols that are no
longer in wide use, such as AppleTalk, ARCNET, eDonkey, and NIS/YP, while
preserving headers that should obviously be included, such as ones that
define public functions. You can find a list of changes at
https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/merge_requests/22579/diffs#244f0172

However it might also remove a less obvious header that you depend on. If
that's the case, you can add it back by opening a merge request that marks
it as a public header using a comment, e.g.
// PUBLIC_HEADER: This is used for a custom dissector for [foo]
Note that this change will affect the next major release of Wireshark, and
won't be backported to the 4.6 or 4.4 release branches.
