Hello,
I sometime have to scan my network to know what is the IP of some active box like a smc router.
smc gives only a windows utility.
It's probably pretty easy to do by hand with arp utilities, but I'm not skilled enough to this
an Ubuntu fellow uses "netdiscover" (http://sourceforge.net/projects/netdiscover/)
I could easily compile it (it needs libpcap-devel and libnet-devel available from YaST)
is there a reason not to have it in openSUSE (other than "nobody cared to package it - what I will understand)?
if not, where can I best ask for having it included? Bugzilla? Fate?
thanks jdd
JDD, If your comfortable compiling it yourself you can do everything yourself. That is: get netdiscover to build in your home project on OBS. Submit it to a devel project Submit it from there to factory. It magically becomes part of 12.1 The hard part is creating the specfile. If the build is straight forward, that's not very hard either. Also, if its already been packaged for another RPM based distro, there should be a specfile from that distro that can be useful as a base.
