I TOTALLY disagree. "Why is security package <foo> not included in SUSE X.y?" is a perfectly reasonable security question for this list.
Thanks, Crispin.
Any idea why snort was dropped, though? :-)
Nobody seems to know, or people that know don't read this list. The question was asked also in the main list, but no answer. The last resource would be bugzilla...
The people that know read this list, like me for instance. The packager called for another maintainer of the package and since no-one was found, the package got dropped. This is not an ideal solution however, I will inquire how to handle such things otherwise. 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.
