Hello!
Could you explain me, since I am a bit confused about version numberings,
how does it comes that: Version 1.0.1 - Last published Aug 31, 2006,
but downloading and untaring bro-1.X-current.tar.gz
I get bro-1.1?
What is the latest version of bro-ids and from which link I can download it?
btw: how often that current snapshot tarball gets updated?
Don't know is it right, but using svn to checkout, I get asked for password:
Most likely you will only want the source code which you get by:
svn checkout svn+ssh://portnoy.lbl.gov/home/portnoy/u2/src/bro-repository/trunk/bro
any ideas?
We do not make snapshots available. Rather, that link points to the current
*release*, which at the moment is 1.1. You can see this by fetching the
Change Log link, though I can see how this is all confusing. We'll aim
to clarify the release numbering on that page soon.
btw: how often that current snapshot tarball gets updated?
We've been doing roughly 6-9 months between public releases. (Again, these
are not snapshots.) We're aiming for the 1.2 release around October.
Don't know is it right, but using svn to checkout, I get asked for password:
Per the above, we don't make the SVN repository publicly accessible. We
may consider changing this in the future if we get enough requests.
Mhmmm ... not necessarily. Typically, making a repository publically
accessible increases the frequency of requests to help fix compilation/
configuration issues fairly dramatically, and we have few cycles for
these kinds of requests.
