[Oisf-users] Latest Suricata deb packages (stable & beta) available for Ubuntu on Ubuntu PPA

[Doug Burks]

Hi Peter,

Great work!

As a suggested addition to #2, you might want to mention that
checkinstall and fpm are both great for building packages (both deb
and rpm) with a minimal degree of effort:

Also, there's a new feature request for fpm to make it support Launchpad PPAs:

Thanks,
Doug
