Bug 155243 – net-firewall/iptables - add ipset patch

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description José Alberto Suárez López (RETIRED) 2006-11-15 06:24:07 UTC]

We provide the ipset user tools but not the ipset patch. I think can be nice to include it in iptables extensions like imq and layer7.

Maybe you could attach the patch or post a link? :=)

Noone will ever notice again unless you reopen the bug.

what's the status? yes, no, ever going to get done?

i'm not a fan of including patches in iptables ... only reason the others are there is because some developer needed/wanted them and so they added them

perhaps an easier thing would be to add generic support for the patch-o-matic and users can add whatever they want

I was thinking that myself actually. perhaps an ebuild for patch-o-matic, maybe have the use flags there define what patches it would add... something better than. download patch-o-matic extract manually... extract iptables source manually. run script. and maybe make an ipset use flag in iptables that will pull both the patch-o-matic and ipset ebuild as a dependency.

1.3.8-r2 allows for user patchsets
