Hi, Do you guys plan to release RPMs for snort 2.9.0 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.0?
No. Snort 2.9.0 and the DAQ library rely on libpcap version 1.0 or above, but RHEL 5 only supplies libpcap 0.9. As a result, we are unable to provide RPMs that will install on RHEL 5. Red Hat's "rawhide" distribution contains libpcap 1.0, so I would expect this problem to be solved when RHEL 6 is released.
If not, is there something in your modified GPL license that would prevent us from hosting a yum repo for that?
Snort is still GPL, you can modify and redistribute to your heart's content. You will also need to repackage libpcap 1.0+ for RHEL 5, hopefully in such a way that it doesn't break apps which depend on libpcap 0.9. -Ryan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.
