• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Boney McCracker 2009-01-18 21:14:48 UTC]

This is a request to update the shorewall ebuilds to Shorewall 4.2.4 in testing status.

The official upstream "Current Stable Release" of Shorewall is  4.2.4
The official upstream "Previous Stable Release" is 4.0.14
We are currently at 4.2.1.

In addition to being the current "stable" release, Shorewall 4.2.4 provides important new features, including IPv6 (i.e. ip6tables) functionality.

Thank you.

Reproducible: Always

Thank you.

I am confused though.  Should we really have a "shorewall6" ebuild?  Plain old "shorewall" supports both iptables and ip6tables, does it not?

[Comment 8 Boney McCracker 2009-01-19 21:19:39 UTC]

Correction.

I understand now -- there is actually an additional package (shorewall6) that provides the shorewall6 binary.  (I had thought this new binary was part of the main package.)

So we actually need version bumps on the current shorewall packages AND the addition of these two new packages (shorewall6 and shorewall6-lite).

Thanks again.

Viery, thank you for all this work. I've updated existing ebuilds and added new.

BTW, note, that I've dropped archs since I assume that you were unable to test package on ~alpha ~hppa ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sparc. Now you need to check that ebuilds were commited correctly and fill KEYWORD request (new bug with Severity enh, KEYWORDREQ in keywords, with netmon as assignment and required archs in CC). Then they'll do their magic.

Also probably it's good idea to stabilize 4.2.4 versions in one month and drop old ebuilds to simplify maintainability.

Sorry, I made a mistake with the shorewall6-lite ebuild.
I'm attaching a fix.

Thanks.
