Nah, Snort still maintained. Will be for some time to come. Have you
checked the release notes for 10.3. The developers might have put
something in there as to why they did it. It's entirely possible that
it wasn't that popular a package for most desktop users and got the
boot.

Perhaps the OP's question is, "why was snort pulled from the 10.3 branch?"
Yes, that's another way to pose my question :-)
It was included, now it is not, and being a security package there must be a security related reason not to include it any more - thus my query.
but maybe now it's been pulled. I wasn't able to see it in the in the 10.3 listing on the novell site.
Neither using webpin.
Either way, OP, you should be able to find a pre-build snort rpm at http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3.
No, I'm not that interested in the package itself, I don't really need it. What interests me is the reason for not including it. You see, I trust that Novell must have a reason for that decision, and I'd like to know it. Maybe it is no longer free, or maybe it is no longer maintained. As a matter of fact, the site < http://www.snort.org> is down.
