naming convention about owasp-modsecurity-crs HOT 5 CLOSED

The rule files contain multiple rules. n of those will be based on a data file. It might make sense to start a data file with an indication of the rule file containing the rule which references the data file. But there will be multiple data files for the same rule file.

There are multiple naming criterias possible for the data file and it is really tricky to pick the right one.

One thing that I think we should do is introduce a common header in all data files with information about the rule that is using the data file. Right now you need to grep.

Let's look into this for v3.1.

Good point. Will look into this.

so... going back through the issues list we have. I know this is REALLY delayed but to respond, we are starting to have quite a few data files for some rule files. It might still make sense to rename these files based on the file names but they'd be pretty long (and lowercased in CRS 3 RC1). What's the use case here exactly? you want to remove or add specific data files based on the rule files that are included for performance reasons?
