Description of problem: Version 2.6 has been published. Please upgrade to the recent version, because the snort 2.4 branch has reached the end of life for development.
Thanks for the info. I will start work on packaging new version
I'd rather see 2.4.5 (the bugfix for 2.4.4) packaged rather than going straight to a ".0" release of Snort. Perhaps, snort and snort26 package families. Or snort24 and snort. Also, we noticed 2.6.0 available via yum for a bit earlier this week and today we are back to 2.4.4. Did we hit out of date mirrors, or has the newer package been removed?
I might do a snort24 package. for those wanting to stay there. as far as the mirror having the 2.4.4 package its an outdated mirror.
closing as 2.6 is in extras now
