Changes:
 snort (2.9.15.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Updated to latest upstream release (Closes: #861842, #827593)
     (LP: #1669257)
   * debian/patches: Refresh patches with changes of new release
      - config: Update location of libraries from /usr/lib/snort_dynamicengine/
        to usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/snort_dynamicengine/
   * debian/compat Use debhelper compatibility version 12
   * debian/rules: Switch to dh
     - Fixes build errors with the PDF file (Closes: #952296)
     - Fixes configure for the build architecture (Closes: #902554)
   * debian/control:
     - Update sources to point to new repository in Salsa
     - Add additional libraries required by the latest upstream
     - Add dependency on lsb-base in snort as it ships a init.d file
     - Move to https homepage
   * debian/{snort-doc.doc-base.manual,snort-doc.doc-base.paper}: Adjust
     file to new location of file at /usr/doc/snort (was /usr/doc/snort-doc)
   * debian/snort.logrotate: Created to install the logrotate file using
     debhelper
   * rename snort.cron.daily to snort-common.cron.daily so it is install
     in the snort-common package by debelper
   * debian/snort.preinst:
     - Instead of recursively changing the logdir change the logdir first
       and then all the files in it (if any) [lintian fix]
   * debian/snort-doc.docs: Remove documents that are already provided by the
     snort package
   * debian/{snort.init-d,snort.postinst}: Use /run instead of /var/run and
      place the PIDFILES under /run/snort, creating it if it is required.
      Also provide the pidfile location to the Snort program, otherwise it
      would be created in /var/log/snort/ (LP: #1006982)
   * debian/snort.init-d: Do not set a default value for DEBIAN_SNORT_HOME_NET,
     if it is not defined then the value is not passed over to Snort. This
     allows users to set an empty value and define the configuration in
     /etc/snort/snort.conf (or /etc/snort/snort.$interface.conf instead.
     (LP: #566543)
   * debian/copyright: Update list of maintainers as well as copyright holders
   * debian/patches/documentation_debian: Create a patch to document Debian
     specific changes and configuration (e.g. alert and logging) describing
     how to read the Snort logs (Closes: 910452)
   * debian/patches/config: Change the configuration to also log an alert file
     log and log also alerts to Syslog
   * debian/snort.config:
       - Try to find the system network interface instead of using a default
         (eth0) name. This should make unattended package installation work for
         those systems indepently of how their network names are defined (e.g.
         laptops).  This was suggested by Thomas d'Otreppe  in the Ubuntu bugs
         and based on the number of bugs in Ubuntu appears to be a fairly
         common need.
         (LP: #996450, #95868, #876616, #655116, #642682, #585523)
         (LP: #572639, #524992, #477590, #465387, #465340, #402936)
         (LP: #290456, #1805338, #1794931, #1791438, #1771690, #1756664)
         (LP: #1735010, #1710478, #1707324, #1626325, #1604184, #1588960)
         (LP: #1570517, #1484733, #1398969, #1310182, #1273021, #1231833)
         (LP: #1222754, #1215408, #1207981, #1207237, #1181514, #1175892)
         (LP: #1175264, #1161358, #1158169, #1116013, #1065121, #1064478)
         (LP: #1061459, #1031917)
       - Add also debugging messages as, based on the number of reports in
         Ubuntu, there seems to be many cases where the users install the
         package (with high debconf priority) and the proper network interface
         is not defined, leading to errors in Snort startup. This should help
         debuggin better automated bug reports by providing more information.
       - Remove code fixing obsolete options from 2.8.5.2-2 as this version is
         already quite old (LP: #996450)
   * debian/snort.preinst: Enable debugging using $DEBIAN_SCRIPT_DEBUG variable
     as already used in snort.config and snort.postint
   * debian/snort.debian.conf: Document the configuration file better and
     remove references to the flavour packages as these were removed already in
      2.9.3.1-1
   * debian/po: Update pt_BR translation (Closes: #816964)
   * debian/po: Update ES translation
   * debian/patches/config, debian/snort-common.cron.daily,
     debian/snort-stat.8: Add a new log file for fast alert logging under
     /var/log/snort/snort.alert.fast to be used by the snort-stat script.
     Adjust the default configuration, the manual page accordingly. This should
     fix the issues encountered when enabling the daily reports.
     (Closes: #862100)
   * debian/patches/config_disabled_rules: refresh and disable also ICMP
     informational rules (very chatty in normal environments, but useful
     for debugging Snort)
