Warren,
My suggestion would be parameters be added to sa-update that:
A) download the rules, and not install them, ignoring the check for what
current rules are installed
B) install updates from a tar file that DOES check for the current rules
The goal being that someone like Warren could do something like
sa-update --download-only
and
sa-update --rules-tar=/tmp/709395.tar.gz
This could also be used for people who want to maintain boxes and distribute
tar balls in a different manner.
Regards,
KAM

Subject: Optional rules, where from?
I think as a packager I will need to pre-package the rules, because I will
get too many complaints about the "run sa-update first" requirement. Due
to security requirements in our package build system, it may not run
sa-update during package build-time in order to grab rules. I will need to
include a rules tarball.
Should there be an "official" rules tarball?
Or is there an official way to grab the latest rules from svn?
