2022-07-23Make Perl optional.Gerald Combs1-4/+6
Update our documentation, build configuration, and setup scripts to make Perl optional. Closes #18152.
2022-07-21Update license file structure and GUI displayJoão Valverde1-0/+30
Add the text of the GPLv2 in HTML, taken from the FSF website, and use rich text to display the license in the GUI. Move the introductory note about the GPL from the COPYING license text file to the README. Remove various other license callouts at the end of the COPYING file as unnecessary and unhelpful. This information is present in each source file, where it belongs.

2020-11-30wiretap: Convert ascend.y to Lemon.Gerald Combs1-11/+4
Convert wiretap/ascend.y.in from Bison/YACC to Lemon and rename it to wiretap/ascend_parser.lemon. Tighten up some of our scanning and parsing. Make the indentation in it and related files consistent. Aside from the recent IPv4 fragment offset changes, this produces identical output to the 3.4 branch for the Ascend trace files I have here. Remove the comment about supporting other commands. Another timeline might have an Ascend that successfully pivoted to DSL or 15625B+1D gigabit ISDN, but this one has neither. This was our last/only Bison/YACC file, so remove Bison/YACC as a development and packaging dependency and remove references to it from the documentation.

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.
