Snort update coming soon – please read about an important change!

[fragged]

With Snort package binary version updates I would probably wait until bmeek's has a post up for the new version on this forum section. :)

There's still a lot of room for improvement with the pfSense package system as it now just checks for the version number and there's no guarantee that all the files have been compiled and are in place in the repository.

It downloads just fine here, double-slash or not.

How ?

If I look in the folder "http(s)://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/" i cannot find any file named "snort-2.9.6.0-amd64.pbi".

So how can u download it ?

[tragicfame]

Is it possible to roll back the current packages list until the new package is up so that there aren't 12 dozen posts stating the download failed.

[foresthus]

Hello,

sorry for disturbing, but there is no package available for download:

Look here: https://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/

Is there the read-acces to everyone set or not?

[dimkyson]

I thing the file is not uploaded yet.. i cant see it..

[doktornotor]

I just clicked the links in this post… It downloaded. Double-slash or not.

[dimkyson]

lol? there is something strange…

@dimkyson:

The same here. Indeed, it looks like file hasn't been uploaded yet:

[doktornotor]

[LC74]

The vast majority of us still cannot see the package uploaded. Maybe a read permission issue? Or a rsync hiccup?

Regards,

Luigi

@doktornotor:

[fragged]

Yeah.. I'm not seeing that file there :)

Maybe it's an issue with some of the mirrors?

[doktornotor]

$ host files.pfsense.org
files.pfsense.org has address 208.123.73.81
files.pfsense.org has IPv6 address 2610:1c0:1:25::57

[LC74]

Still nothing here, even browsing at the I.P. address you pointed out…  :(

@doktornotor:

$ host files.pfsense.org

definitly not there or we cant see it

I just checked for the i386 package that I need. On the IPv6 site it is available but NOT on the IPv4 site (yet I hope).
