[Zeek-Dev] Zeek and the myricom package plugin

[Michael Dopheide]

Background:  We like to run 'master', but with the name change it broke too
many things and we had to stick to 2.6.2 for the time being.  Since then,
I've started trying to convert our ansible scripts and prepare to make the
jump.  Today I discovered the bro-myricom package would fail to build.

Has anyone attempted this yet?  I can get it to build with a couple minor
changes:

Unfortunately, we end up with another problem:
zeek -N
internal error in /home/zeek/zeek-myricom/build/scripts/./init.bro, line
37: bad reference count [0]

Line 37 is just SNF_RSS_IP:
        const snf_rss_mode: set[RssField] = {
                SNF_RSS_IP,
                SNF_RSS_SRC_PORT,
                SNF_RSS_DST_PORT
        } &redef;

Clearly I'm not gonna get lucky with an easy fix.  Doing a simple
search/replace for bro/zeek across the whole tree doesn't seem viable as
things like bro-bif.h haven't changed names.  Has anyone started digging
into how plugin packages will need to be updated?

Thanks,
