B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced libpcap pull-request

["Linus Lüssing" <linus.luessing@c0d3.blue>]

Hello,

I wanted to cautiously inquire about the pull-request I had filed
about 5 years ago for adding B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced support to
libpcap here:

"Add support for B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced #980"
-> https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/pull/980

I'm not in a hurry and would need a while to add any change
requests anyway, due to other things having priorities right now.

But I had also been wondering why it might not be progressing
anymore, even though the initial feedback was very swift,
constructive and super helpful. Many thanks for that again!

I see that there generally is quite some activity in libpcap, so
it seems to me like it's a bit of an issue of motivation or
priorities on other people's sides as well, maybe?

(And I was also wondering if people maybe lost interest after
noticing that batman-adv is GPL licensed and a Linux kernel module
only so far. Do maintainers/devs on the libpcap/tcpdump project tend
to be more motivated to work with and integrate protocols that have
a copyfree instead of copyleft license and/or protocols with an
IETF RFC?)

Regards, Linus
