      This morning my pfSense 2.2.2 popped up that there was an update available for snort. It says "Available: 3.2.4" and "Installed 2.9.7.2 pkg v3.2.4." Was there an update to the package without changing the version number? Is there a change log for it?

      Thanks.

        No, I have not posted a package update and as far as I know neither has anyone else.  My guess is a typo snuck into the Package Repository config file via someone's update (I hope it wasn't one of mine …  :-[).  I noticed this on my own box this weekend.

            Thanks BBcan177.  I came back to post that link, but you beat me to it… :D.  Apparently the pfSense Team is doing some house cleaning related to how packages are versioned.  They decided to drop the binary version tag and just show the GUI package tag.  The actual Snort package is not updated.  Only the tags in the Package Repository have been edited, and that makes the package manager in the firewall "think" a new version is posted.
