          I have no interest in these packages but someone else can step up to the plate if they are wanting to.

          You may want to post a bounty depending on how badly you want these.

            If you are interested in this go to the bounty section and offer some money there. Atm none of the devs are interested in adding a snort package and are heavily busy with other stuff. Also a package doesn't have to be done by one of the coredevs. Others might be interested to pick up that work too if you put a bounty on it.

              Why no interest? it only adds a extra security layer of protection to your firewall and alot of people will like it and can make pfSense more poplair. I think either its not hard to compile it for community, maybe u can explain me howto? thanks.

                We have a lot of other plans in the pipe that have to be developed. A snort package is NOT a priority or on any todo list right now. Either emphasis your demand with a bounty or try to make your way through the code and implement it yourself and commit your work when it's done. You'll find everything that is needed in the cvs archives at pfsense.com.

                  Because time does not grow on trees.

                    Ok, I got your point, but how much (minutes/hours) do you think does it take to compile these packages for pfSense?

                      Its much more work beyond simply compiling the pacakges.  GUIS would need to be created, etc.  I really don't know how long it would take but a complete guess would be a good 2 weeks for a good squid GUI alone.

                        Just a note

                        Imho it is easier to operate an IDS on an external device!
