SourceFire, the maintainers of Snort, have updated the tarball for Snort 2.4.4 to include support for building binaries. The updated tarball has a different size and checksum and I have verified with the Snort team that the change is in fact valid. Included is a patch against the current security/snort with the updated checksum and file size.
State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed. Thanks!
