Much of Wireshark uses not only GTK, but Glib as well. I'm wondering how the move to Qt will affect plugins that manipulate the Glib structures, as I'm assuming these will also be migrated to Qt.

What I'm trying to get at is: as the maintainer of a Wireshark plugin, what should I be doing to prepare myself for the switch? Will I need to start maintaining to versions of the plugin, one for Glib and one for Qt?




Though I have no idea about the specifics of Wireshark, there's no particular reason for them to have migrated from Glib— PCManFM, for instance, still uses Glib in its Qt port.


Right, that's why I'm wondering :)
