Wireshark 0.99.2 was Released Jul 17, 2006

Is anyone looking at upgrading/replacing the current Ethereal port ??

The Wireshark 0.99.2 fixes some security issues over the last  
ethereal 0.99.0, Revision 1 that is in the current portfile.

Is there a way of coping with a port that changes name? should there  
just be a new port for Wireshark. how about invalidating the old  
ethereal port (with a UI_message to says its been replaced by  
wireshark....)

Regards
