Any thoughts about this?
I'd really like to be able to use the same
hosts.{allow,deny} files on both Debian and
Gentoo systems.
Hey Mike, I saw you recently cleaned up the tcp-wrappers patchset. Are you interested in bringing these important patches into our package? Anyone else? Any news about this one? I emerged our latest tcp-wrappers with the mentioned patch using some post_src_unpack() magic in /etc/portage/bashrc. It applied cleanly and compiled fine. What prevents us from integrating that patch at all? Is there any progress of including some of the patches into the Gentoo patchset? I desperately miss the aclexec functionality Debian provides. should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Migrate to Debian patchset which includes a lot more patches http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-apps/tcp-wrappers/files/tcp-wrappers-7.6-headers.patch?rev=1.1 http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-apps/tcp-wrappers/files/tcp-wrappers-7.6-redhat-bug11881.patch?rev=1.1 http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-apps/tcp-wrappers/metadata.xml?r1=1.3&r2=1.4 http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-apps/tcp-wrappers/tcp-wrappers-7.6.22.ebuild?rev=1.1 |
the debian version of tcp-wrappers contains a patch to add support for CIDR/netmasks in hosts.{allow,deny} which our current version doesn't. we should really add this patch (maybe even some more from the debian patchset?).
