Hello - all experts: What is your recommended/preferred/used methodology for upgrading previously installed mdk packages, with latest non-mdk rpms or even tar balls, with minimal or no effect on existing conifguration and workings?
Example: I have 1.8.7 snort, pre-installed from the mdk packaging, as snort-mysql-1.8.7-..., with its own set of rules and acid for interface. Having tried to update the rules, I found out that 1.8.7 rules haven't been updated in a while, and 1.9.0 are the only ones being actively worked on, they won't work with the 1.8.7 binaries, and I have already setup acid, mysql and snort to work with each other under 1.8.7. I would hate to have to redo evrything from scratch (including re-compiling from source, and reconfiguring the snort-mysql-acid combo), if it would be an easier way/path for upgrade(s). TIA, Stef
