Every time I boot, I get this error: nftables.sh[633]: /dev/stdin:1:1-14: Error: Could not process rule: Operation not supported systemd[1]: nftables-restore.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE systemd[1]: nftables-restore.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. systemd[1]: Failed to start Store and restore nftables firewall rules. I never enabled nftables-restore.service, so it should not be running in the first place. The ebuild does this: > systemd_enable_service basic.target ${PN}-restore.service This creates a symlink in /lib/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/. It is not possible for the sysadmin to disable this unless they mask the unit. This systemd_enable_service call should be removed from the nftables ebuild. Possibly a pkg_postinst message or a news item should be created to warn users to enable the service themselves. In fact, the function should be removed from the eclass altogether; I can't think of an appropriate use for it.
To be sincere systemd is way out of my paygrade and that call was there when I first wrote the modern kernel patchset. Maybe prometheanfire knows why is it there.
Ya, I'm not sure why. predates me. Fixed though.
