Update scapy

Open gpotter2 opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

scapy-python3 is an unofficial fork that is getting very oudated (many bug fixes missing). Migrates to original and up-to-date scapy, which now supports python 3

It is great news that scapy supports now python 3. Thanks for letting me know. I need to check that nothing else breaks changing the dependency. Is there any documentation about the compatibility between scapy python 3 and what is now kamene?

Not really.

What is working with kamene should be mostly working with scapy (except for some very minor changes). The opposite isn’t true, as kamene is missing a lot of layer integrations, fields and fixes (e.g. DNS layer is crashing a lot with kamene)

It should be easy.

Only real difference (other than bug fixes & new stuff) is that scapy kept python 2 support, and therefore sometimes has compatibility layers, but you should not be affected by that

I've checked dhcpcanon with scapy 2.4.0 and it seems nothing breaks, awesome!.

Still i might wait until scapy python 3 is packaged for Debian to change the dependency. It has already been reported in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=889938.

FTR python3-scapy is now pointing at secdev’s repo
