Updating
These new packages are now available in our stable repo.  Please see the following page for full update instructions:
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/wiki/Upgrade

This update will back up each of your existing suricata.yaml files to suricata.yaml.bak and migrate your HOME_NET and EXTERNAL_NET variables.  You'll then need to do the following:

• re-apply any other local customizations to your suricata.yaml file(s)
• update ruleset and restart Suricata as follows:
  sudo rule-update
