Greg,
I've created linkpac's for unresolvable packages for SLE_12* and their dependencies, which will take some time to build. I think I have all the ocaml deps linked, but we'll need to wait and see and adjust as needed. -- Later, Darin
Great. Suricata is a pretty major package. I think it would be worth the effort to get into SLE 12 SP2, but I know nothing about that process.

Hi Greg,
Getting a package into the enterprise SLES is a much more complex process which involves Product Management, many different Engineering departments etc.
Where SLE12SP2 in the release cycle, it is way too late to add a package to the distro.
Now I did have a look at Suricata and I can see this would be very valuable to paying enterprise customers of SUSE. There is a alternative called Package Hub. See: https://packagehub.suse.com
Call it a "soft opening", but expect a lot more noise about this around the time of SUSECon in November.
Thanks, Peter
Thanks for the feedback Peter. I was actually thinking of SLES 12 SP3 (or whatever SLES SP2->next is). Note that Suricata, libprelude, and the Prelude SIEM all work together. libprelude is a major project of its own and is incorporated into the Prelude SIEM. libprelude and the Prelude SIEM just went into factory last couple months. Getting libprelude, Prelude SIEM, and Suricata into SP3 might be a fairly involved process, but an effort worth making in my uninformed opinion. Regardless of what the SUSE team chooses to do, I plan to submit Suricata to factory in the not too distant future. That will complete the libprelude / Suricata / Prelude SIEM package set. The Suricata package isn't yet up to factory standards in my opinion and there may need to be a supplemental package or 2. (ie. suricata-rules is in someones home project. We may want that for factory as well.) Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
