Hi, like announced in the news item in Mai (bug 546952) it is now time to get rid of <shorewall-4.6.x. Please mask everything in - net-firewall/shorewall-core - net-firewall/shorewall-init - net-firewall/shorewall-lite - net-firewall/shorewall6 - net-firewall/shorewall6-lite and only - <net-firewall/shorewall-4.6.10.1 for removal in 30 days. Reproducible: Always
shorewall-4.6.10.1.ebuild is the current stabled ebuild. Currently shorewall-4.5.21.9.ebuild shorewall-4.5.21.10-r1.ebuild also remain. None of this can occur until the shorewall-4.6.10.1 is made stable. Then I recommend purging of all.
Ian, I don't understand you: The stabilization of 4.6.10.1 is finished, see 555188. shorewall-4.6.10.1 is stable on *every* ARCH. This is also the second 4.6 release in tree which is marked as stable, see https://packages.gentoo.org/package/net-firewall/shorewall So please explain why we cannot proceed with cleaning up <shorewall-4.6.10.1 and must keep previous versions. Thanks.
Looks like I misread <net-firewall/shorewall*-4.6.10.1 as <=net-firewall/shorewall*-4.6.10.1. Also I meant shorewall-4.6.13.ebuild to be made stable. However you can request that at your leisure. Shall remove them shortly.
last rite, removal in 30 days commit 1e714de7382390bc75eb0a939f8dfcaea39763da Author: Ian Delaney <idella4@gentoo.org> Date: Sun Sep 20 17:31:41 2015 +0800 pmask defunct packages of net-firewall/shorewall listed in bug #560392
Hello: Can I ask you folks to please explain what's happening with net-firewall/shorewall and the related packages (e.g. shorewall6)? After reading these posts, I am led to believe that there is a new package that supersedes the corewall-core, shorewall, and shorewall6 packages, perhaps using a single package and controlling the features with use flags (e.g. using an ipv6 flag to implement what was used to implement shorewall6). net-firewall/shorewall is still completely masked however. What are the plans for shorewall package and how will it be integrated into portage in the future?
