Both packages seem to be forked from [the gopcap project written by Andreas Krennmair](https://github.com/akrennmair/gopcap).

2. Updated more often

I'll be interested in working on it if it sounds like a good idea.

Do you mind opening an issue on GitHub to discuss this as a feature request/enhancement? That'll reach the best people that way 🙂

Thanks, I'll do that. Wanted to post that here per the Contributing guidelines on Github.
