rules available at https://www.snort.org/downloads. I am presently
using Snort 3.1.18.0 on OpenWrt. I also happen to maintain this package
for the OpenWrt project.

1. I find that I have to replace this statement in etc/lua.conf:

    variables = default_variables_singletable

with:

    variables = default_variables

If I do not make this change, then snort will not run. Is this expected?

2. There are a number of tarballs available:

    Talos_LightSPD.tar.gz
    snortrules-snapshot-31180.tar.gz
    snortrules-snapshot-31150.tar.gz
    snortrules-snapshot-31110.tar.gz
    snortrules-snapshot-3190.tar.gz
    snortrules-snapshot-3170.tar.gz 
    [...]

How do I judge which to use? The numbers present seem to correspond to
Snort releases, but some releases seem to lack a corresponding rules
tarball. What is Talos_LightSPD.tar.gz? Does a document exist that
describes the release process for rules?

Thank you,
