------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-12-01 03:37 ------- A rough strategy for making updates atomic, at least per rules directory, is: (1) When SA is starting it chdirs to each rules directory and reads the rules files using just their basenames. This might not be necessary if it doesn't matter that SA loads some rules from the old set and some from the new set. (2) Updates populate a new directory with rules then atomically move it into place. This might not be portable to non-Unix filesystems. The problem with sa-update at the moment is that SA might see only a partial ruleset when it starts, which is worse than no ruleset (in which case it falls back to the original rules distributed with the code) or a changing ruleset. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
