Comment (by jul_bsd@…):

 Hello Pixilla,

 in the 'port notes' is said:
 "Please download rules from https://www.snort.org/snort-rules/#rules
 either manually or with oinkmaster."

 oinkmaster has not been commited for now (Ticket #42859) so need to
 download it manually or do that with the rules.

 Maybe the above line need more highlight.

 Also the link changed. it is https://www.snort.org/downloads/#rule-
 downloads now
 Problem is snort has 3 sets
 - unregistered user/community rules
 - registered user
 - paid user

 the first one is pretty outdated but is still kept by debian package for
 the sake of usability.
 But as it's a security software, in a same way than an AV, it's pretty
 useless with outdated rules.

 I would prefer to leave user make its choice and if possible use
 registered set.
 In Oinkmaster port, I pinpoint on other sets like EmergingThreats or
 BleedingSnort

 Also for this rules file, an alternative would be just touching file in
 post-activate, but need also white and black_list.rules
 and change path.

 tentative patch joined
