OK, great to hear that from you. I got the impression from the gitlab comments that you had a different view. > Do you have changes you'd like to propose? I'll gladly go over those. I'm happy with the the project's commitment to ABI stability and agree with Gerald's proposal of trying to revive the abi-complicance-checker test to help him in the final release checks. I may find time to restore the changes after this discussion is settled. Since you are asking, I'd very much welcome less hostility from your side than what I observed in [2] when I reported the ABI breakage. What triggered my email was that after I reported the ABI breakage you made in the stable branch you refused to own and fix it [3] and even after Gerald kindly stepped in with the fix [4] you kept arguing ([5] [6] ...) and this made me tired and wondering if you really represent the project's opinion as you seemed to believe. > What I won't do, however, is maintain your package for you. I maintain the package in Debian for the users and not particularly for myself since I'm not using Wireshark in my profession as I used to do. In general I'm happy to accept help, but I think I've never asked for your help specifically for that package and I note that I should not ask in the future either. The Debian packaging in the upstream repository, i.e. [7] serves a different set of users, those who want to be closer to the latest development of Wireshark and the packaging scripts are kept a bit simpler. I intentionally don't make too many changes there to let the Wireshark project members set the direction and the changes there go through the regular local review process. I believe the packaging in itself is useful and the .symbols files help noticing ABI changes.
