Testing distribution has 1.8.7. No. You would have to pull in all the dependencies from unstable as well, so you'd get all sorts of fun stuff like libc upgraded. It's possible that you could try 'apt-get -b source snort' and have the right thing happen. But then again, depending on the package in unstable, this might not be buildable on something else. > Any other suggestions or recommendations are also welcome. Go to www.snort.org, get the tarball, and install it in /usr/local/. That's what I've been doing. This was discussed at quite a bit of length a month or two ago.
