The firewall script generated by fwbuilder also does calls to the command line
utility 'ip'. This utility is part of the iproute2 package, however when I
emerged fwbuilder, iproute2 wasn't installed and thus the generated firewall
script generated an error.
After I emerged iproute2 the problem disappeared.
Added iproute2 dependency to 1.0.3-r1, thanks for catching this!
Hi
Please don´t,
there is nothing that says You need utility 'ip' on the host which runs
fwbuilder, only on the one where You applying the script, in a distributed
enviroment where fwbuilder host is not the same as firewalled host this leaves
us with iproute2 installed on fwbuilder host whithout solving the issue reported
in this bug... Also You only need 'ip' in some specific configurations, not
always, so installing iproute2 should be left to the administrator of the
firewalled box as long as we don´t know for sure that fwbulder host and
firewalled host are the same. Eventually You could use a new USE (ex. +/-
fwhost) variable and add dependency on iproute2 if +fwhost is set
Anyway, there is a new release - libfwbuilder-0.10.8 and fwbuilder-1.0.4 I'm
attaching ebuilds and digest
/artur
I see your point. I've commited your updated ebuilds (thanks for those) and I
added a note about iprute when the installation finished.
