feature request - VRT Edge Rulepack with PP

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi everyone

thank for your PP :-)

I am using pulledpork with VRT edge rulepack, follow a description from 
Sourcefire (hxxp://www.snort.org/snort-rules/cli (bottom) ):

Edge Rulepack
You can now stay on the cutting edge of rulepacks by setting <filename>, in any 
of the above recipes, equal to snortrules-snapshot-edge.tar.gz
This will pull down the latest versioned rulepack that you are privileged to 
have! e.g. if 2912, 2930 and 2931 are available, it will access 2931.

This rulepack is named snortrules-snapshot-edge.tar.gz

To use that I simple modify PP (svn version):

$ diff /usr/local/bin/pulledpork.pl src/pulledpork-read-only/pulledpork.pl

1813c1813
<                 unless ( $rule_file =~ /snortrules-snapshot-\w+\.tar\.gz/

---
>                 unless ( $rule_file =~ /snortrules-snapshot-\d{4}\.tar\.gz/
1822c1822
<                     $rule_file = "snortrules-snapshot-$Snortv.tar.gz" unless 
$rule_file =~ /snortrules-snapshot-edge\.tar\.gz/;

---
>                     $rule_file = "snortrules-snapshot-$Snortv.tar.gz";

Perl isn't my favorite script language ;-), sorry
Is it possible include this in a next release?

Thank you in advance

See you

Simone
