UPDATE: snort +server variant and schemas

[dports@…]

I have a patch that:

1) Copies the database creation schemas into ${prefix}/share/snort/schemas because they are needed in many snort configurations.

2) Add a server variant that installs a startup script.

3) Adds ui_msg to inform users of details about 1 and 2.

The server variant seems pretty kludgy, maybe there is a better way.

You shouldn't do the xinstall stuff directly in the variant; you'll need to add if {[variant_isset ... in the post- destroot phase.

Ok, attaching new Portfile diff

I went ahead and committed this since it has been so long, I hope that isn't a problem since I'm not maintainer. An identical patch was approved by Marcus for an ntop server variant so I think it is safe to do, and not having the schemas on the DP tree is a big hassle. This bug can be closed.

Closing per Mark's request, setting resolution to FIXED.
