Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Creating a Wireshark installer with my dissector in it

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Assuming the RPM packaging software is available:
$ make rpm-package

Personally I don't have experience with RPM packaging, so I'm not aware of the 
status of RPM support. But there have not been complaints, so I expect it to work.

Thanks,
Jaap
