Gl.iNet package repository does not offer the latest Snort 3 release. Would it be possible to obtain the latest release of Snort 3 by having Gl.iNet Team adding the latest into the repository / feeds? ```auto root@GL-MT6000:~# opkg info snort3 | grep Version Version: 3.1.0.0-3 ``` From OpenWrt page regarding [Snort 3](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/snort#installation): `Package version is at or before 3.1.48.0-1, you have a very old legacy version that will require completely manual setup.` **Router:** Flint 2, GL.iNet GL-MT6000: ```auto root@GL-MT6000:~# cat /etc/openwrt_release DISTRIB_ID='OpenWrt' DISTRIB_RELEASE='21.02-SNAPSHOT' DISTRIB_REVISION='r15812+1071-46b6ee7ffc' DISTRIB_TARGET='mediatek/mt7986' DISTRIB_ARCH='aarch64_cortex-a53' DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION='OpenWrt 21.02-SNAPSHOT r15812+1071-46b6ee7ffc' DISTRIB_TAINTS='busybox' ``` Snort package offered by Gl.iNet: ```auto root@GL-MT6000:~# opkg list | grep -e snort snort - 2.9.17-2 - Snort is an open source network intrusion detection and prevention system. It is capable of performing real-time traffic analysis, alerting, blocking and packet logging on IP networks.

Also can add the openwrt official opkg url to feeds. BTW, we provided newer version already: ```auto opkg info snort3 | grep Version Version: 3.1.84.0-r2 ``` ---

> [@bruce](#): > > Also can add the openwrt official opkg url to feeds. I had added the the official opkg feed URL: > **[Index of /snapshots/packages/aarch64\_cortex-a53/packages/](https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/packages/aarch64_cortex-a53/packages/)** into /etc/opkg/customfeeds.conf ```auto root@GL-MT6000:~# nano /etc/opkg/customfeeds.conf ``` ```auto /etc/opkg/customfeeds.conf # add your custom package feeds here # # src/gz example_feed_name http://www.example.com/path/to/files src/gz aarch64_cortex-a53_packages https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/packages/aarch64_cortex-a53/packages/ ``` and ```auto opkg update ``` was a success (in contrast adding the URL feed into /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf) Then navigating within MT6000 main UI, into Plug-ins, I did attempt to install snort version 3.1.84.0-r3, and I do get dependencies error: ```auto Collected errors: * pkg_hash_check_unresolved: cannot find dependency libopenssl3 for snort3 * pkg_hash_check_unresolved: cannot find dependency kmod-nft-queue for snort3 * pkg_hash_check_unresolved: cannot find dependency ucode for snort3 * pkg_hash_check_unresolved: cannot find dependency ucode-mod-fs for snort3 * pkg_hash_check_unresolved: cannot find dependency ucode-mod-uci for snort3 ``` Yet the each dependencies failed the install via SSH into the OS? ```auto root@GL-MT6000:~# opkg install libopenssl3 ucode ucode-mod-fs ucode-mod-uci Unknown package 'libopenssl3'. Unknown package 'ucode'. Unknown package 'ucode-mod-fs'. Unknown package 'ucode-mod-uci'. Collected errors: * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package libopenssl3. * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package ucode. * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package ucode-mod-fs. * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package ucode-mod-uci. ``` What do you suggest regarding installing the latest snort package on MT6000?
