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? Thanks! nikns ---

On that page I can find only ftp://bro-ids.org/bro-1.X-current.tar.gz, which stands for current snapshot not 1.1-release, am I right? 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?🙂 Thanks nikns ---

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.     Vern ---

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. Cheers, Christian. ---

Right, right! And what about releasing untested releases and submiting fixes that already has been fixed in svn? ---
