Summary: Review Request: ettercap - Network traffic sniffer/analyser https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=231746 ------- Additional Comments From wolfy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2007-03-13 14:57 EST ------- The more I think about it, the more I believe that a variant of comment #11 is the simplest way to go: - create 3 packages; ettercap-common, ettercap-gui and ettercap; last ones should _both_ provide "ettercap" - include in ettercap-common a README.FEDORA explaining that the -gui provides all capabilities of the -tui + gtk interface; include here the command switches needed in order to use the -gui as a text only/ ncurses interface (we all know that people do not read manuals, so including same info in two places won't hurt; we might just get a supplemental chance to actually pass the info to the end user) and the instructions on how to remove the text-only package if one decides to use the gtk version - ettercap would install in addition to the ettercap binary the -curses and -text symlinks - assuming that ettercap-gui would be installed by people who actually want a GUI, a .desktop file will be installed which runs just that: the GUI. If the user wants to use the -gtk enabled binary with a text only interface, the instructions for achieving this are available both in the man page and in the README.FEDORA doc. - the description of ettercap (the text only package) should mention that, for a GUI variant, "yum install ettercap-gui" should be used Advantages - no conflicts - no need for alternatives - the name being shorter, yum install ettercap would not pull the GUI + deps - since the gtk version provides ettercap, the text-only package will not be pulled once the gtk is installed Opinions ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
