• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Maik Schreiber 2003-10-13 11:07:04 UTC]

A new version of net-firewall/firehol is out. A simple version bump to 1.159 is fine.

as usual, in cvs

Hi,

I am the developer of FireHOL. I have a few suggestions for the firehol ebuild
(sorry for not taking care of this, but I am not yet so familiar with Gentoo):

1. FireHOL completely supports Gentoo out of the box. This means that the
src_compile() section in the ebuild should not search/replace anything.

2. I have verified every external component used by FireHOL and concluded
to this list of packages needed by FireHOL:

RDEPEND="app-shells/bash
        sys-apps/fileutils
        sys-apps/gawk
        sys-apps/grep
        sys-apps/iproute
        net-firewall/iptables
        sys-apps/less
        sys-apps/modutils
        sys-apps/net-tools
        sys-apps/procps
        sys-apps/sed
        sys-apps/sh-utils
        sys-apps/textutils
        sys-apps/util-linux"

I don't know if there is some policy regarding any of the above (note for
example modutils which might become module-init-tools in 2.6 kernels).
Anyway, the above list is the complete list of packages FireHOL depends on.

3. I suggest to put examples/client-all.conf as the default /etc/firehol/firehol.conf,
but only if the later does not already exist (there is no need to have the
user etc-update the configuration for this file).

Regards,

Costa
