Package: sagan
Version: 1.2.0-1.2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear maintainer,

sagan's configure script contains

|     echo "   The libdnet headers cannot be found.  This library is used for 
Sagan's"
|     echo "   Unified2 output support.  Please see:"
|     echo "   https://wiki.quadrantsec.com/bin/view/Main/Unified2Output";

and etc/sagan.yaml further elaborates

|   # The 'unified2' output allows Sagan to write in Snort's unified2 format.
|   # This allows events/alerts generates by Sagan to be read and queued for
|   # external programs like Barnyard2 (http://www.securixlive.com/barnyard2/).
|   # Barnyard2 can then record events to various formats (Sguil, PostgreSQL,
|   # MySQL, MS-SQL, Oracle, etc).  Sagan must be compiled with libdnet support
|   # to use this function.


However, the current packaging explicitly disables libdnet support, but
the following small patch could be used to enable it:

The resulting binary package debdiff then merely indicates the
additional dependency on libdumbnet1:

| Control files of package sagan: lines which differ (wdiff format)
| -----------------------------------------------------------------
| Depends: libc6 (>= 2.33), {+libdumbnet1 (>= 1.8),+} libfastjson4 (>= 0.99.3), 
liblognorm5 (>= 0.3.0), libpcre3, libyaml-0-2, adduser, sagan-rules, lsb-base 
(>= 3.0-6)
| Installed-Size: [-592-] {+608+}
| Version: [-1.2.0-1.2-] {+1.2.0-1.3+}

Please consider whether it's worthwhile to include libdumbnet support
into sagan, thanks.


Oh, JFTR, libdnet was renamed in Debian to libdumbnet due to a naming
conflict with a DECnet library, but luckily sagan knows how to deal with
that, see above. The project lay dormant for quite some time but now
found a new upstream.
Disclaimer: I am the new libdumbnet maintainer, so of course I am biased
on whether libdumbnet should be used.

Cheers,
Flo
