Source: snort Version: 2.9.7.0-5 Severity: wishlist Currently, if you install snort from debian, you can't compile so rules from sources, because the header files needed to do so (e.g. sf_snort_plugin_api.h) are not distributed as part of any of the Debian packages.
Having a snort-dev package that contains all the headers/etc. needed for compiling so_rules would be useful. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
