Does anybody have a recent copy of the source to libpcap from its CVS
repository?

The normal site for libpcap (tcpdump.org) appears to have suffered a
filesystem crash and CVS is not working.  I am looking for a version of
libpcap that supports data capture for USB interfaces, the code will
probably have references to /dev/usbmon or a pcap-usb-linux.c file for
Linux.  libpcap0.8_0.9.8-2 is not recent enough.

Dave put a recent copy up at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/libpcap.git

Thanks, but that is still version 0.9.8 with no support for usb.
It defines DLT_USB and DLT_USB_LINUX but has no code to actually
read from /dev/usbmon.  I need the CVS version of libpcap.

Sorry that's the most recent CVS tree Patrick had when I built that
GIT repo.

Thats odd, the version I had has USB support and that one also appears
to be missing my VLAN patches that are in current CVS.

I'll try to figure out what went wrong and send you both a new tarball.

I just rebuilt the libpcap repo from an updated tarball Patrick sent me.
Let me know if it's still screwed up :)

Comparing git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/libpcap.git
against Patrick's tarball.  git is missing some mode and some rcsid
lines like this example below, I assume that the removal of these lines
in git was deliberate.

However the removal of the #ifndef lint lines also removed a copyright
notice from the object.  The copyright line should be reinstated.

Removing the #ifndef lines also accidentally removed a copyright notice.

No, the copyright is also in the comment right above it.
