Description Lorinc Czegledi 2009-10-07 19:02:02 UTC 
bfilter without gui has no forwarding.xml , please provide a forwarding.xml.example with the ebuild files

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge bfilter
2. look in /etc/bfilter for forwarding.xml, none found
3. create forwarding.xml




add forwarding.xml.example to files for ebuild

example code (works for me with tor):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<forwarding>
    <option name="Direct">
    </option>
    <option name="TOR Proxy" selected="selected">
        <bypass>
            <simple-hostnames/>
            <host-mask>*.isp.com</host-mask>
            <host-mask>192.168.*</host-mask>
        </bypass>
        <proxy-chain>
            <proxy>
                <type>socks4a</type>
                <host>localhost</host>
                <port>9050</port>
            </proxy>
        </proxy-chain>
    </option>
</forwarding>
Comment 1 Lorinc Czegledi 2009-10-07 19:03:37 UTC 
the maintainer has a strange opinion about documenting this feature, see here:

http://prxbx.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=1004

"To be able to support proxy chains and multiple forwarding configurations (only useful in a GUI), I moved forwarding configuration from "config" to "forwarding.xml" file. I was too lazy to document it, besides I thought that almost no one uses the non-GUI version."
Comment 2 Alin Năstac (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-19 22:32:41 UTC 
Fixed in version 1.1.4-r1 by installing a default forward.xml configured for direct forwarding along with a forwarding-proxy.xml example installed in the doc directory.
