Dear colleagues, Thank you for raising this Moritz. Indeed, I've not had time to keep up with Snort. If there are interested developers that would like to resolve the bugs or help with uploading a new release I would be happy to support or handover the package.
All the changes/packages should be in Salsa and I can provide maintainer access to any interestef developer. In any case, I have the feeling that there are more suitable fully open source options out there (e.g. suricata) and it would not be a big issue if Snort was removed from the distribution.
