Bug 104522 – iptables 'extensions' flag

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Maciej Bilas 2005-09-01 14:34:16 UTC]

IMHO in iptables*.ebuild there should be two extension USE flags:
external-extensions, which would turn on IMQ and l7 patches and an
(internal-)extensions, which would leave the KERNEL_DIR env. var. alone. :)
Or just leave alone the KERNEL_DIR at all.
I'm using a single patch from patch-o-matic-ng repository and I have to change
every iptables ebuild, when a new one comes in.

Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 70699 [details]
iptables-1.3.3-r3.ebuild

this is what i've done so far.

When you apply your patch where does KERNEL_DIR need to point? I'm guessing
/usr/src/linux.

Also curious as to which patch you are using?

What is the URL do you use to get patches off netfilter now?

Please test attached ebuild and let me know what you think. No further action will be taken until feedback is received.
