Snort update coming soon – please read about an important change!
-
Someone needs to fix this stat! I didn't even know that 2.9.6.0 v3.0.5 was brand new. I don't check my packages for updates very often. I updated and now have no Snort. How can I revert to 2.9.5.6 v3.0.4?

You can't unless you have a local backup of it.
-
Is there any how-to, how i can install a package manually ?
Because we can download the older versions but Not via Package-Installer.
-
Tried doing the update, got error trying to re-install and still getting error.
How can we fix?
Thanks

Should work now.
Package is available amd64
Edit:
sorry.. I'n in a ipv6 network at the moment and can see it -.-'
-
i386 file is still missing and I still cannot get amd64. People using IPv6 seem to be able to access it though.
-
here i have uploaded the amd64 version.
But i have no idea how i/you can install it manually :(

I tried downloading the correct pbi file using an IPV6 proxy: http://www.ipv6proxy.net/go.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.pfsense.org%2Fpackages%2F8%2FAll%2F&b=0&f=norefer
I can get the file, uploaded to my own hosting service and tried a pkg_add -r in the command prompt and got the following error.
tar: Failed to set default locale
pkg_add: unable to open table of contents file '+CONTENTS' - not a package?So there's that… just in case anyone knows any more than I know to try.

Do you have the i386 or amd64 version of pfSense installed? that link points to i386 use http://www.ipv6proxy.net/go.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.pfsense.org%2Fpackages%2Famd64%2F8%2FAll%2F&b=1 to get amd64

I actually have the i386 version. Thank you for noticing and adding that.

I've made TinyURL links from the ipv6proxy page you listed, my pfSense box seemed to like that better.
I'm not an expert at installing these but from what I read the process should be as follows (please correct any mistakes)…
1.) SSH into your pfSense box
2.) Choose option 8
3.) I believe you need to run the .pbi i386/amd64 link - copy and paste the correct link that corresponds to your system.pkg_add -r http://tinyurl.com/ipv6-pfsense-i386/snort-2.9.6.0-i386.pbi
pkg_add -r http://tinyurl.com/ipv6-pfsense-i386/snort-2.9.6.0.tbzpkg_add -r http://tinyurl.com/ipv6-pfsense-amd64/snort-2.9.6.0-amd64.pbi
pkg_add -r http://tinyurl.com/ipv6-pfsense-amd64/snort-2.9.6.0.tbz4.) Type "rehash" and press enter
5.) Type "snort-2.9.6.0-amd64 -i" or "snort-2.9.6.0-i386 -i"I based these instructions of of the following page, https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Installing_FreeBSD_Packages
UPDATE
It seems the links above might not work as I thought, the slash and file name are not being read correctly when it attempts to download, I did however recreate the links directly to the files.....but then the problem I had with this was the dependencies did not download correctly.
These are links to download the files directly from the working ipv6 mirror.

I read a little bit about it earlier and I please correct me if I am wrong. I believe the package manager actually uses an install script for packages.. it installs the services and then installs/creates the menu entries in the GUI. I believe my only installing the PBI you create the service but not the GUI entries??? The package manager uses XML scripting or something along those lines. Again, please feel free to add on… the more we all know the better in the long run :)

Yeah I read that too, https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=69370.0
Regardless I still wanted to try it anyway….I didn't get any farther though.

The file inconsistency is fixed, someone that moved DNS only moved the A and not the AAAA which left things inconsistent. I fixed it.

Snort package version was bumped because of the recent OpenSSL vulnerability by rbgarga. Snort has the package version number in a few other pages which haven't been touched to reflect the new 3.0.6 version number. Can someone from the core team please check the rest of the package to make sure the version number is consistent, thanks.
