The Tcpdump Group git mirrors - tcpdump/blob - PLATFORMS

   1 In many operating systems tcpdump is available as a native package or port,
   2 which simplifies installation of updates and long-term maintenance. However,
   3 the native packages are sometimes a few versions behind and to try a more
   4 recent snapshot it will take to compile tcpdump from the source code.
