Re: request: enable nfq while building daq RPMS

["Joel Esler (jesler)" <jesler () cisco com>]

I’ve forwarded your email to the devel team.


As far as “yum repo” setup.  We build the RPM for the site as an example.  We don’t officially maintain the 
distribution for any OS other than FreeBSD.

Hi,

I see that spec file from https://www.snort.org/downloads/snort/daq-2.0.6-1.src.rpm is missing:

BuildRequires:  libnetfilter_queue-devel, libdnet-devel

and therefore nfq support is not enabled. Is there a good reason to keep nfq disabled?
I mean: is nfq still considered a "new" feature and can a subsequent build of snort based on daq
with nfq support result in snort problems?

Another problem in https://www.snort.org/downloads/snort/daq-2.0.6-1.src.rpm
is the missing bison BuildRequires.

I noticed also a slightly more up-to-date spec file (with bison BuildRequires) at
https://forensics.cert.org/centos/cert/ .  Would it be possible to merge the changes
from there upstream to the specs maintained at https://www.snort.org/downloads ?

What about setting up yum repos instead of pointing to RPMS on https://www.snort.org/downloads/?

Cheers,

Marcin
