The latest version of the new Broker-ized cluster/communication system
for Bro in 'topic/actor-system' branch is wrapping up and, in my
opinion, ready to be merged into Bro's 'master' branch.
However, since it's such a big change, I'd like a last round of feedback
before merging. If you want to test, the build process should now be as
simple as:
$ git clone --recursive --branch=topic/actor-system git://git.bro.org/bro
$ cd bro && ./configure && make
Configuring BroControl is not any different from before.
If you had custom scripts, they may require porting. There's a guide
and examples for that at [1] and [2] (hyperlinks in those docs will
render more nicely when it's up on bro.org).
Though, for this round of testing, I'd be most interested just in any
general stability issues or major feature breakages from a vanilla Bro
installation. Mild performance issues, minor bugs, or other issues w/
porting custom scripts are things I think we can iron out even after
merging into 'master'.
