Gerald,
Do you have a specific hard cutoff date for patch submissions for the 1.4 release? I'm currently working on trying to get at least the main AVB (Audio Video Bridging) protocols integrated into the main branch and it would be great if they made it into 1.4. The reason being alot of major companies who are actively developing products using AVB are eagerly awaiting the submission of my dissectors so they can use them as well. I've submitted one just yesterday which looks good based on feedback I have gotten. Another one incorporates really minor changes into the existing 1588 dissector (packet-ptp). And the final one is also a new dissector, but one my company has been maintaining for over a year now so it has also already been extensively tested. I'm asking because I want to know whether I should drop everything else and quickly get the outstanding two finished like today, or maybe by EOB Friday if at all?
Thanks,
-Torrey

I understand that it's time-consuming to review patches and that some of the submitted ones may need to be re-worked and not quite ready, etc., but a quick bugzilla search indicates that 111 bugs (~21% of them) have patches submitted as attachments, a good portion of them likely waiting for "review_for_checkin?". It would be nice if those patches that are ready for integration could make it into 1.4 or those patches submitted could at least be "grand-fathered" into the 1.4 branch so one wouldn't have to wait an entire year (or more?) until 1.6 for the patch to become part of the next stable release. It's one thing to not want to add new protocols or major changes to the stable release, but surely many of them are not "enhancement" bugs or major rewrites of the capture core and would be suitable for inclusion. No? What are your thoughts
I think any one on the dev list could help speed things up by helping
reviewing patches especially if they need rework.

Anders
