The people that know read this list, like me for instance.
Sorry - maybe you needed a little teasing O:-)
The packager called for another maintainer of the package and since no-one was found, the package got dropped.
Ah.
This is not an ideal solution however, I will inquire how to handle such things otherwise.
Thanks!
I do not even know if snort OpenSource is really useful, or if you need to buy the fully uptodate ruleset subscription to make it useful. If the latter is true, then snort.org should offer the packages.
I personally don't need it, but I was certainly curious why it was removed. A chap in the Spanish list updated from 10.0 to 10.3, and his snort was not removed, somehow. Something was broken, though, with weird symptoms: he could not ftp from one particular suse machine to the 10.3 machine, in the local network, but he could from internet. Just by chance he noticed the old snort version, removed it, and then voilá, ftp worked again. This prompted us to investigate why snort had not been updated, then saw it was not included in 10.3, and I got curious, and /he/ may need it. So I asked here :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
