Suricata

This is what will happen when you build from Git without bundling Suricata-Update, and I now see that its not very user friendly at all. A better message, without the exit 0 would probably be better, and less alarming.

As this is the very last step of the install, you can be assured that Suricata was installed, just not the rules. But we'll make this cleaner for those building from git.

pi@raspberrypi:~/suricata $ git clone https://github.com/OISF/suricata-update.git

fails since suricata-update folder already exists in suricata folder.

fatal: le chemin de destination 'suricata-update' existe déjà et n'est pas un répertoire vide.

As reported by Scott :

pi@raspberrypi:~/suricata $ sudo make install-full

fails with this error 2 if we install suricata-update in another folder

make install-rules
make[1] : on entre dans le répertoire « /home/pi/suricata »
error: rules not installed as suricata-update not available
make[1]: *** [Makefile:928: install-rules] Error 1
make[1] : on quitte le répertoire « /home/pi/suricata »
make: *** [Makefile:909: install-full] Error 2

A workaround for that error is to manually bundle suricata-update, after cloning suricata from github and before running ./configure.

In order to do so, from inside suricata directory, perform the following:

$ cd suricata-update
$ curl -L https://github.com/OISF/suricata-update/archive/master.tar.gz | tar zxvf - --strip-components=1

After this, one should be able to run ./configure, make make install without that error.
