Bug 351549 – net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4 stable

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Patrick Lauer 2011-01-13 13:48:44 UTC]

So libprelude dropped the x86 stable keyword (bug 318839) and so snort lost stable keyword on x86 and is quite behind on amd64.

Please stabilize snort 2.9.0.3.
May depend on 
dev-libs/libprelude
net-libs/daq (stable target would be 0.5 )

Thanks!

amd64 done

[Comment 2 David Abbott (RETIRED) 2011-01-15 21:13:36 UTC]

Tested on x86, all good here;
=net-libs/daq-0.5
=dev-libs/libprelude-0.9.0
=net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.3

We passed for prelude because it is in bad shape.  What should we do here?

-) mask USE="prelude"?
-) restable just libprelude without other prelude stuff
-) pass for snort

[Comment 4 Patrick Lauer 2011-02-10 19:38:26 UTC]

I would say mask USE="prelude" on x86. Keeping old versions of snort around serves little purpose, and stabling prelude is not an option for now. 

[Comment 5 Jason Wallace 2011-02-21 17:13:59 UTC]

Maybe this should be closed. I just submitted a version bump to 2.9.0.4 that resolves the build failure at bug 354595. I can resubmit a stable request for 2.9.0.4 once it is in portage and reaches the masses. 

As for prelude... I'll ask around and see if I can find anyone actually using prelude with snort. If not, I may drop support for it in the snort package. The reality is that this support should be built into Barnyard2. At some point the Sourcefire folks are probably going to drop all the output plugins except unified2 in snort and defer their support to the Barnyard2 project.

Let's shift to 2.9.0.4 then.

x86 did:
=net-libs/daq-0.5
=net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4

and masked USE=prelude.
Thanks everybody. Last arch-> closing.
