activities report for August 2026

[Denis Ovsienko <denis () ovsienko info>]

August 2026
===========

The accounted activities in August stand for 126:30 working hours and
45 commits (33 in libpcap, 4 in tcpdump and 8 in tcpdump-htdocs).
libpcap test tooling now implements a new type of tests (enumeration)
using a new test program, there are 15 new tests.  The source code
linting, which stopped at the Cirrus CI shutdown, has been reinstated
in Buildbot.

Minor libpcap improvements are as follows:
* pcap_statustostr() is now better documented and returns more useful
  strings.
* C compiler builtins are now tested directly instead of using the
  compiler type and version.
* Various error messages now correctly quote the name of the failed
  function.

Other accounted activities include:
* unification of CFG rendering style for Radare2 and libpcap in BPF
  Exam,
* progressing of pull request and bug report queues,
* manual testing on GNU/Hurd, Haiku, QNX and Solaris 11.4 CBE,
* progressing of various earlier prototypes (still requires more work),
* upgrading of netbsd-amd64 and netbsd-aarch64 to the latest
  10.1_STABLE, and
* reconfigurations, updates and various other infrastructure upkeep
  work.
