Bugzilla Bug 211288

Kmyfirewall author have released a new version of his iptables interface for
KDE. 

Reproducible: Always

... and the homepage changed.

It crashes here whenever I try to add ath interface. I'll try to get in contact
with upstream.

Couple of stuff is broken or not needed anymore in the ebuild...

Tiziano, thank you for comments. Just some notes:
1. domenu is not necessary as make install will install .desktop file for you;
2. dosym is still required there (and even more it's required for two files
kmfinstallerpluginui.rc and kmfiptablescompiler.rc;
3. Should we drop ewarn? Does kmyfirewall became stable? At least my first
experience is that I do not want to bump it a take responsibility. Crash report
is sent upstream, btw.

4. And in my version of ebuild I've changed that echo -e with 'cat > file
<<-EOF', for better readability. :)

So I've received the answer from upstream. The bug is strange for Christian
(upstream developer) and he didn't manage to reproduce it in kubuntu, so will
get no help from him. I'll repost problem I have here:

kmyfirewall crashes, whenever at generic interface I click 'Interfaces' and
then 'Add Interface'. This is backtrace:

Could anybody else reproduce this or am I alone with this problem?

kdesu dependency is missing.

for comment #5 : Peter, I tested it and I'm almost sure that you need to
select one of the items in the view above (either "Gloabl Network" (typo
wanted...) or "My Local Computer") before touching anything in the bottom part
of the window.... 
Adding one check to always have an item selected in the listbox at the top
should fix, if nobody else, I'll do as soon as I find some more spare time.

kmyfirewall-1.1.1-hostsview.patch

Fixed in a better way: all the bottom part is grayed out at startup and
enabled when you select something, pointing users to the listview in the top
part of the window.
Also corrected some little typos (Gloabl and copmuter).

Created an attachment (id=151765) [details]
kmyfirewall-1.1.hosts.patch

Argh! Care that correcting the typos may cause your backupped rules unusable,
this is the patch without any typo correction....

*render your backupped rules unusable. (If already happened, correct the files
containing the rules also, Gloabl and copmuter typos...)

Matteo, you did that. Thank you for the fix. I've reported the issue upstream
another time and commited kmyfirewall-1.1.1 to the tree with your fix. Many
thanks for your work. FIXED.
