Comment (by mojca@…):

 Are there any news about this update? There is version 1.11.2 out already
 and there should be no problem to fetch the sources from `tar.bz2` (if
 there are, they also have git access available now in addition to svn).

 Personally I would vote for providing the `qt` interface only. I don't see
 any particular need for `gtk`, it will only cause headaches and one will
 have to fix problems related to it without any benefit. It only makes
 sense to support `gtk` if Qt isn't working properly yet. I'm not saying
 that the port shouldn't provide it, only that it's not necessary to have
 it. You can keep support for GTK if you find it useful.

 And yes, I also suggest to simply turn all the relevant features on
 without a special variant for that unless that feature isn't working,
 causes problems or requires too many dependencies.

 Can you please submit a new `Portfile` (or diff) for 1.11.2 and taking the
 latest comments into account? (Ryan explicitly asked for a diff. This
 usually makes a lot of sense, but in this particular case where basically
 everything other than description is changed, plain `Portfile` works much
 better, at least for me. I'm not advocating using one or another, only
 explaining that in cases like this one the diffs are hardly more
 informative.)

 I agree with the proposal to leave the old `wireshark` port intact (= not
 to worry about it) and simply rename this port once the version 1.12.0
 gets released.
