Why Multiple Rules Files on Sourceforge...Why?

[Dominick Bakhtiar <dominickfb () gmail com>]

Hi Guys, I am fairly new to using Snort, so sorry in advance...Here's my
question...

There are multiple rules files on snort.org that follow this naming
convention:

snortrules-snapshow-29##.tar.gz with the same date. These files look the
same to me. What's the reason for multiple? It seems some rules are missing
from these files. I just updated my rules (backed up my original) but I
can't start snort now because it is looking for some rules it cannot find
(such as community-sql-injection.rules). I don't see this file in the
updated .gz file.

Thank you...
