[Oisf-users] status of hyperscan and the ubuntu packages

[Russell Fulton]

Hi Peter

Ah!  I had not realised that the hyperscan package was available only for zesty.   Currently I am about to migrate my sensors to 16.04 but I may change that to 17.xx  ;)

I can certainly run my test system on zesty
