Subject: [Snort-devel] Issue with snort 3 registered ruleset (still expects SNORT_LUA_PATH)

Hello,
While testing the Registered ruleset with snort 3.0.1 b2, I found a bug with the latest 3.0 rules:  
snortrules-snapshot-3000.tar.gz.

for the snort.lua file included in this ruleset, it still references the old SNORT_LUA_PATH.  I found that if you 
remove the following lines from this file
require('snort_config')

conf_dir = os.getenv('SNORT_LUA_PATH')

if ( not conf_dir ) then
   conf_dir = '.'
end

dofile(conf_dir .. '/snort_defaults.lua')
dofile(conf_dir .. '/file_magic.lua')

and add these lines (From the latest snort.lua generated by the make process):
include 'snort_defaults.lua'
include 'file_magic.lua'

everything works perfectly.

Noah
