Bug 485190 – net-firewall/iptables-1.4.20 - Stabilization request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) 2013-09-17 13:50:15 UTC]

Hi,

please stabilize net-firewall/iptables-1.4.20 (we need iptables-1.4.20 to stabilize net-firewall/shorewall*-4.5.19+, see bug 478224):

- net-firewall/iptables-1.4.20 was added to tree on August, 10th 2013 (>30 days).

- There are no bug reports against this version.

- There is a meta bug against iptables for adding systemd support, see bug 479490, but I don't see a reason why this should block the stabilization of iptables (and depending packages).

Thanks!



Reproducible: Always

Hi,

according to

  # equery meta net-firewall/iptables

this package has no maintainer at all:

  > Maintainer:  None specified

So I am in doubt if anybody will ever read this stabilization request. Is it OK if I CC arches at the end of this week or do I really have to wait 30 days...?

[Comment 2 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) 2013-10-06 20:12:05 UTC]

Arches, please test and mark stable: =net-firewall/iptables-1.4.20

Target keywords: alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, ia64, ppc, ppc64, sparc, x86



PS: I waited almost a moth, asked multiple times in IRC but nobody responded yet. Please don't kill me if I am doing something wrong (e.g. I am not allowed to CC arches). Please tell me what I should have done instead... thanks.

Stable for HPPA.

Um, who are you? You don't seem to be in the base-system herd which maintains this package, so you are certainly not allowed to call stabilisation requests.

Can we get an ACK from someone who is?

pinkbyte@oas1 ~ $ epkginfo iptables | grep -i herd
Herd:        base-system

Maintainer field maybe empty, this package belongs to base-system herd, so - herd maintainers should ack stabilization.

I think we should wait for their decision - either ack on stabilization or  closing this as WONTFIX

Base-system says proceed with stabilisation. no further delay.

[Comment 10 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) 2013-12-16 13:37:42 UTC]

@Arches:
May I ask why it takes so long to get net-firewall/iptables stabilized? >60 days since base-system confirmed to process with stabilization (comment 6)...

Is there anything we can do/help with or are you just understaffed?
