2018-09-24Wiretap isn't meant to be a packet-capture library [any more].Jeff Morriss1-14/+8
Wiretap was originally being writen to be a packet-capture library which might eventually replace libpcap but that's no longer the case: it's now meant to be a library for accessing multiple types of files. As such, don't describe it in the README as a packet-capture-library-to-be; in fact since it's really internal to Wireshark don't mention it at all. Don't discuss the fact that ancient (pre-2003) versions of zlib don't work for Wireshark's purposes.

2017-08-15Convert README to README.md.Gerald Combs1-0/+232
Convert the contents of the top-level README to Markdown and give it a .md extension. Most of our documentation is plain text or AsciiDoc, but the top-level README file in a Git repository is special in that many online browsers will show the README contents along with the directory listing and those browsers tend to favor Markdown. This is true of GitHub (which we're currently mirroring to), Gerrit via its Gitiles plugin (which we're not yet using but likely will), and other places. Add "foreign" to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. There is probably a joke to be made here about the FSF and border walls.
