There is a new version 1.2.5 of ferm, released 12.9.07. Additionally the included ebuild fixes a small bug starting version > 1.1. The RDEPEND lists either iptables or ipchains-requirements, but support for ipchains/fwadmin was dropped since version 1.1. Reference: http://ferm.foo-projects.org/download/1.2/NEWS Major Changes There are many many changes in ferm 1.2 compared to 1.1. Here is a short list of the most noticeable changes: ipchains and ipfwadm are no longer supported v1.2beta1 - 28 Aug 2006 - perl strict mode - removed support for ipfwadm and ipchains --- I adapted the ebuild to reflect this slight change, the adapted + included ebuild works fine for ferm-1.2.5. I use it on x86 for > 30 days. The ebuild is included 'Additional Information'. Maybe keyword ~x86 can show stabilized > 30 days usage => x86.
