PLEASE stabilize this package.
It is the ONLY version which works with a 2.6.24 kernel!!!

Richard, how iptables-1.3.8-r3 is broken? I fail to see any problems there.

afaik it fails to compile against kernel headers

Could you open bug then? The more details the better as I did not manage to reproduce the problem... Neither in unstable system with gentoo sources 2.6.24-r4 nor in stable with unstable openvz-sources 2.6.24.004.1 (btw, openvz sources required some patches, but that's not iptables problem).

[Comment 5 Sergey Dryabzhinsky 2008-06-24 08:45:12 UTC]

iptables-1.3.8* compiles fine with 2.6.24 kernel, but failes to start with strange errors:

"The 1.3.8 version of iptables does not seem to work correctly when built against kernel 2.6.24; any operation attempted returns with "error 0". If you prefer the 1.3.8 version over the newer 1.4.0, try building with the headers from kernel 2.6.23 or earlier."

Doesn't like imq in combination with static on ppc.
Leaving out either of the two from USE makes it build ok.

I don't think we should bother about this. I could add:

use static && use imq || die 

but IMQ itself is more or less experimental, but still very useful that's why it's here. Static afaik is also not so recommended way to install package in Gentoo...
