Hello, we are considering to provide packages for a number of different .deb and .rpm based distributions starting with Bro 2.4, using the OpenSuse build service.
As a first step, I have created a repository that contains nightly Bro builds for CentOs, Debian, Fedora, Suse Linux, Scientific Linux, Univention as well as Ubuntu. At the moment, Bro is installed into /opt/bro and broctl needs root permissions to run. Users in the Bro group (which is automatically created on installation) should be able to modify configuration files like local.bro, or the broctl configuration, and read the log files that Bro writes. The package is called bro-nightly which is a metapackage which pulls in the sub-packages bro-core-nightly, containing only bro without broctl or libbroccoli broctl-nightly, containing broctl libbroccoli-nightly, containing libbroccoli and libbroccoli-devel-nightly, containing the header files for libbroccoli The obs interface showing the status and sources is available at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:0xxon:bro/bro-nightly and downloads are available at http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3A0xxon%3Abro&package=bro-nightly (locations will change in the future). If you add the repositories to your distribution, new nightly builds should automatically be installed each time bro is updated. Additionally, Bro 2.3.2 packages are available at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:0xxon:bro/bro. At the moment, this is in an early stage and I would be happy to receive any kind of feedback or problems that you encounter when using these packages. Please note that the packages have not gone through a lot of testing and that you should not use them in a production environment :) Johanna _______________________________________________ bro-dev mailing list bro-dev@bro.org http://mailman.icsi.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/bro-dev
