RE: Re: flowbits

["Douglas McCrea" <dmccrea () rutgers edu>]

I agree,

I don't think I understand the reasoning of introducing a rule for a feature that did not exist in the current stable 
release knowing that Snort would break. I use Oinkmaster and I had to find the rules that had flowbits enabled and 
disablesid them.

Snort Team: Why don't you create a new ruleset for RC1 until 2.1.1 is released? BTW, RC1 doesn't exist for Windows or 
I'd give that a shot too.

On http://www.snort.org/dl/rules/ it still says you should use the 2_1 
rules for snort 2.1.*, which will obviously fail as the flowbit feature 
was introduced post 2.1.0 (as discussed in 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107661847900002&r=1&w=2)

Couldn't this be fixed somehow?
