Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] how to submit code to wireshark..??

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brian,

Sure it's possible to have them included. How do you think we got most of our 
code ;)

First of all we're very critical of code quality. For regular dissectors we very 
much like the code to adhere to the guidelines set out in README.developer.
For generated (from ASN.1) dissectors we'll need proper conformance files etc.

Then we need the code to be fuzz tested. That usually shakes out the most 
obvious bugs.

Additional dissectors are to be submitted through enhancement bugs in bugzilla. 
That way it won't get lost and can be reviewed and discussed when time permits.
Mind you this means free time for the core developers, which sometimes is in 
short supply.

Further stuff is written in doc/README.developer, the Wiresrhark Developers 
Guide and the Wiki.

Thanks,
Jaap
