Just a quick note to let people know that I have just upload packages for Snort version 2.7 (released some weeks ago) into experimental. I've also made an upload to the Snort 2.3 packages with a new set of rules (the 'Community rules') which increases the IDS signature ruleset by over 800 new signatures. There are many differences (new preprocessors, new functionality) between Snort 2.7 and the previous Snort 2.3. However the major difference in the Debian packages are: - prelude support has been enabled for the 'snort' binary package (not for snort-mysql or snort-pgsql) - (some) community rules are enabled by default in snort.conf The packages at experimental have only seen minimal testing. I would appreciate if people running Snort on Debian took a look at these packages and submit me (directly or through the BTS) any issues related to them. Once I'm confident that the 2.7 packages work fine they will be uploaded to unstable. Thanks for any help you can provide testing these packages, Javier
