wireshark without GTK stuff (just tshark)
I hate having to install everything the GUI depends on just to get tshark. I'm running Arch on a server, so I'd rather not have this stuff installed.

Re: wireshark without GTK stuff (just tshark)
I think you could try 'pacman -Sd wireshark' to skip gtk2 and then gradually install the other dependencies listed in 'pacman -Si wireshark | grep Dep'. There might be more missing, like glib2 perhaps.

Re: wireshark without GTK stuff (just tshark)
Will that try to install GTK2 etc the next time I use pacman -Syu? Otherwise that's a pretty neat trick.

If there's no gtk2 on the system then it won't get upgraded or pulled in. Simple as that.

Re: wireshark without GTK stuff (just tshark)
You could use ABS to build your own wireshark-package...
Just modify the PKGBUILD and run makepkg...

Yes, but I don't want to do that. I'd rather have just tshark in AUR so it can go into community later.
