Thanks Bram, I have sent him an email at listed in hog.vim- as well as an newer email address which he was associated with on our snort-users list in 2010.
Unfortunately, the new address that I've found is no longer active- (bounce-back from server, regarding no user). So I've contacted that organization "lanl.gov" for more information. Otherwise, his once public website, is also not accessible anymore- I believe this was associated with "lanl.gov" as well. --- If I don't hear back before Friday, I'll go ahead and send you my updates. Good enough? ~Victor On Sun, Oct 25, 2015 at 2:01 PM, Bram Moolenaar <[email protected]> wrote: > > Victor Roemer wrote: > > > Hello VIM-Dev > > > > The existing syntax highlighter is 10+ years irrelevant and our > development > > of new features which neglected to enforce anything regarding style or > > consistency the best of which is how Snort behaves in regard to > > line-continuations (e.g., trailing \). > > > > There is additional cleanup that should still be done in "filetype.vim" > > (e.g., /usr/local/share/vim/vim74/filetype.vim) to determine if ".conf" > and > > ".rules" should be ft=hog or not. > > > > --- > > > > This is honestly something I should have brought up years ago- I > > effectively have drop-in replacements for "syntax/hog.vim" and > > "ftplugin/hog.vim", which I've made available on github[1]. > > > > I can not remember ever reaching out to the original maintainer- however, > > it's clear to me that he is no longer an Snort user. > > > > --- > > > > I know that I should have googled more, but I'm not clear on what the > > process is for contributing an update of this nature.
