I feel like the snort package really needs to be reviewed again. It must be part of the packages that were brought over from fedora.us since it contains a lot of details which don't conform to the packaging guidelines, and there is room for major enhancements. After a quick glance : - Sub-packages have identical copy/pasted summaries - Prefix: /usr and passing --prefix and --sysconfdir to %configure are useless - The %preun scriplet is broken and snortd will get stopped upon upgrade(!!) - There is /sbin/ldconfig in %post but no %postun (ldconfig doesn't seem needed) The %description and README.fedora could use a cleanup too... not to mention the entire spec file, which is very hard to read. I'd also argue that so many sub-packages isn't needed, and the symlinks hacks are ugly, and should possibly be handled by alternatives. Dennis : Would you be willing to get snort through the review process? It's a perfect candidate for EPEL... but not in its current state IMHO.
snort is very ugly and I am really un happy with it. I un orphaned it awhile ago as i wanted to use it and I think it would be a great EPEL candidate. So yes. i am willing to make it better.
