I was only refering to diff itself, I know all about cvs, and use it a lot myself for personal projects. I just didn't know of a way that diff would remove a file, since that patch doesn't apply cleanly, anyone that wanted to test my diff would get an error about that patch and snort wouldn't build. > > Regarding HOME, it's perfectly normal that that is not set.

I have never tried to develop anything for ports before, so wasn't sure if this was required or not, although I remember seeing the "HOME not set" error on other ports in the past. > > Update committed, thanks. Thanks a lot, I know this'll help me on the job, as I do a lot of work with NIDS. I just hope that the maintainer will keep up-to-date with current versions of snort in the future. Jason
