[Rman-users] Tip for Rman users

I use Oinkmaster[1] and RMan[2] togeather. I am a great fan of text-file 
modification, perl-script automation etc. so I find Oinkmaster does a great 
job to keep my rules up-to-date (with modifications), and then I use Rman 
(loadrules.pl) to update the database and push the changes out to all my 
sensors ;)

It works great!

Feature request 1:
 Could there be a --force-update option for loadrules.pl so that I can force 
an update even if the "rev:" tag haven't been changed? Currently I have a 
modified version of loadrules.pl that always updates the rules, but would be 
nice to have a single script to maintain.

Feature request 2:
 I would like loadrules.pl also scan snort.conf for variables and update them 
as well. Right now I am hacking the SQL table by hand, but I don't think that 
is feasable in the long run.

Bug report:
http://rman.sf.net is still saying that 0.3 is the latest version
