Re: can I roll back to an earlier version of updates

You'll love this.. My nightly sa-update cron ran last night and upgraded my modified rules (was version 916621) to a newer version (version 917420). This, of course, undid my changes. And equally surprising, --lint passed. I looked at the diffs and sure enough, the same lines were back (number
