Description Greg Scott 2016-08-18 16:33:10 UTC 
A strategic customer asks that RHEL 6.n include wireshark and wireshark-gnome 1.10.z.  See the next (private) comment for the filled in RFE template.

RHEL 6 currently includes wireshark* 1.8.z.  Wireshark* 1.10.z is included with RHEL 7.

Thanks Tomas.  I'll leave this comment public in case the topic comes up again.  Paraphrasing your comment - RHEL 6 is in production phase 2 now and this bug does not meet the criteria for inclusion.  Only high severity issues will be fixed from now on in RHEL 6.

I updated the associated support case and it's OK to close this.

thanks

- Greg

Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6 is entering the Production 2 phase of its lifetime and this bug doesn't meet the criteria for it, i.e. only high severity issues will be fixed. Please see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ for further information.

The request is resolved in RHEL-7 as there is wireshark 1.10.14 available.
