Oinkmaster v0.7 is released.

Oinkmaster is a simple Perl script that helps you to update your rules and possibly keep some of your sanity.

Homepage:
http://nitzer.dhs.org/oinkmaster/

Direct download:
ftp://ftp.it.su.se/pub/users/andreas/oinkmaster/oinkmaster-0.7.tar.gz

MD5 is 73c4bb4d559d0c26eebba18b6eae88d3

Changes from v0.6:

o oinkmaster.conf will now be searched for in /usr/local/etc/ by   default (instead of in the current directory).   You will have to put it there or use the -C argument. o Don't print warning when using "-e" in quiet mode. o "-p" ("preserve comments") is now not just obsolete, but invalid. o New argument, "-Q" to run in über-quiet mode.   Same as quiet mode except that it doesn't print the "None." stuff   when printing results.
o Support file://<filename> syntax in URL specification.   Rules archive will be copied directly from the local filesystem   (which must have been put there ahead of time).   Suggested by aidan.carty@entropy.ie.
o sid-msg.map will now be updated by default. o Warn instead of exit in case of invalid lines in the config file. o Added possibility to modify sids, using the "modifysid" keyword   in the config file (use with care).
o Added makesidex.pl by Jerry Applebaum <JApplebaum@APTEGRITY.com>   to contrib section. Useful to new Oinkmaster users who already   have many rules commented out and don't want to create oinkmaster.conf   manually from scratch. It strips out the sids from everything you've   commented out and writes them out in a format that can be appended to   oinkmaster.conf.
o Added addmsg.pl (by myself) to contrib section.   It's a script that will parse your oinkmaster.conf for "disablesid"   lines and add to them their SID message as a #comment. o Fixed bug related to deleted rules printout. o Default URL is now
  http://www.snort.org/dl/rules/snortrules-stable.tar.gz. o In verbose mode, print warning if a file in the downloaded archive is   empty.
o Don't require write permission in the output directory when running with   -c. Pointed out by arjones@simultan.dyndns.org. o Don't care about trailing whitespaces for non-rule lines (to avoid   getting a diff where the same line appears to have been both added and   removed when only a traling whitespace has been removed etc). o Allow umask to be specified in oinkmaster.conf. o Many internal cleanups and minor bug fixes.
