[companion-discuss] Code Review Request: Update of tcpdump package to current version

[Steve Christensen]

This is a request for a code review for the update of tcpdump from the
2004 version 3.8.3 to the current version released on 2007.03.14.

The webrev for this is at

http://companion.sunfreeware.com/downloads/tcpdumpwebrev/

The version 3.8.3 currently on the Companion CD is now three years
old.  The version 3.9.5 released last year does not build on
Nevada 56.  However, the version released as tcpdump-current on March 14
builds easily on Nevada 56.  Tests show that tcpdump works normally for
both SPARC and x86 systems.  The latest libpcap 0.9.5 package was used
to perform the tcpdump compile.

Changes to the build files were very straightforward requiring only version number changes and the elimination of patches that are no longer needed.

The home page for tcpdump is http://www.tcpdump.org.
