Re: More problems with pulledpork 0.6.0

The reasoning is simple, there is no reliable way, other than using a known
trusted url identification to determine the source of the rules.  Consider
the case of ETPRO rules vs VRT rules, there are sids that match, the
contained filenames match exactly, and you  may have changed the source
tarball name when you put it on your custom server url...  I will likely (in
the next major release) make that a configurable option.. such as
rule_url=<url>|<filename>|<oinkcode>|<prependname> or something...

Oh, 0.6.1 is up and has your fix in it...

Ok, I see the problem... PP has no way of knowing that the rules you are
putting on your custom-url-server are ET rules (it determines if it's
VRT or ET based on the source url), thus the other errors (in your bug)
that you are reporting and the behavior that you see.  If you remove the
ET- from your dropsid and disablesid config.  I will be publishing a
bugfix today for that (0.6.1) that will fix both issues, but require you
to use Custom-<category> when retrieving from a purely custom url, such
as you are doing.

Ok. All works as expected now disabling ET- . But, why not to use in the
new version "Custom-ET-" and "Custom-VRT-" instead of "Custom-"? With this
mode you can prevent that VRT and ET release a .rules file with the same
name.


Thanks JJC.
