Fedora Extras is still on download.fedora.us and some (but not all) of
the mirrors listed on www.fedora.us.  fedora.us folks have confirmed
that some of the mirrors that used to carry Fedora Linux (the
predecessor to Fedora Extras, /not/ Fedora Core) seem to have stopped.

If you want snort, help QA the RPM package on
https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=782 !  Get
http://www.starken.com/snort/snort-2.0.2-0.fdr.6.src.rpm and rpm -ivh
snort*src.rpm && rpmbuild -ba /usr/source/redhat/SPECS/snort.spec !

So yes, my question's been answered but I hope ther is a better answer
for your question -- about where snort and tripwire packages for Fedora
can be found -- in the future.
