I'm getting:

libtool-ltdl-0:2.2.6-15.5.el6.x86_64
yaf-0:1.3.2-1.el6.rf.x86_64

Confirmed on CentOS 6.0 x86_64.

I have updated libfixbuf to 1.0.1, yaf to 2.1.1 and added exclusions for
the libltdl stuff. However, this is just a kludge and the real fix would
be for upstream to give up on

AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE

and build against system libltdl if it's available and convenience
libltdl if not. What they are doing right now it very wrong and broken
from many different prospectives.

Additionally, there is a problem with the pkgconfig file libyaf.pc that
they provide:

Requires: glib-2.0 >= 2.6.4, libairframe >= @YAF_REQ_AIRFRAME_VER@, libfixbuf >= 1.0.0

Finally, according to FHS and to not to clutter common namespace they
should put their plugins in a private library directory
e.g. /usr/lib/yaff.

Does anyone have good contacts with upstream? I would appreciate if my
message would be forwarded appropriately.

Additionally, this new version adds a slew of features disabled by
default:

configure: Enable Export of DNS Authoritative Responses is disabled by default
configure: Enable Export of DNS NXDomain Responses is disabled by default
configure: Payload processing is enabled by default
configure: Entropy calculator disabled by default
configure: DAG interface recording into output record disabled by default
configure: Napatech interface recording into output record disabled by default
configure: fingerprint exporter disabled by default
configure: p0f based OS fingerprinter disabled by default

Is anyone interested in any of those?

Hi!

I have updated libfixbuf and did another update for yaf which is
supposed to fix the libltdl issue in a proper way, but it's build system
is still quite broken:

1) It doesn't pick up pcre on RHEL5 through pkgconfig, although it
exists and no specific version requirements were postulated

2) It looks for libraries in /usr/lib on a 64-bit system which of course
it doesn't find and hardcodes /usr/lib64 rpath

3) It puts private plugins in /usr/lib

Anyone using or interested in yaf please contact upstream about that. I
am not very motivated to do their homework...

Thanks!
