Hi,
Just checked Debian Lenny, it does include Lua, so does Ubuntu from Hardy up.
Too bad they still don't use privilege separation offered by dumpcap though.
Thanx,
Jaap

Yes - it supports Lua development on *all* platforms supported by Lua.
However, it (obviously) requires a version of Wireshark that's built
with Lua, and for some unknown reason, building with Lua isn't the
default, so a packaged version of Wireshark won't include Lua support
unless the packager (presumably the Fedora project, in your case)
explicitly configures it to do so.
If the Fedora package doesn't include Lua support, you'd have to build
Wireshark yourself from source.
(Why *isn't* it the default? Perhaps it should be - or perhaps "build
with Lua if it's available" should be the default.)
