Bug 82757 – ARPStar Ebuild

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description John Shaw 2005-02-20 20:30:43 UTC]

Ebuild for arpstar kernel module.  This module protects against arp poisoning.  It should work for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.  This is my first new ebuild I've ever submited so please be critical (but not negative:)) if I did something wrong.  I tried to follow the Dev Documentation as close as possible.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Fixed some of the einfo statements and the DESCRIPTION statement so things look
a bit better.

arpstar-0.5.0.ebuild

Fixed the bad SRC_URI link for the sourceforge site.

It worked before but always referenced a particular sourceforge mirror... now
it references mirror://sourceforge/... like it should have in the first place.

The module does not build for me with kernel 2.6.11-rc3-bk9

What kernel do you run?
Can you please try my cleaned-up ebuild?

You might also want to look at it to learn more about ebuilds :)

[Comment 6 RockCrusha 2005-02-27 22:21:42 UTC]

Stephan, ArpStar-0.5.0 does not compile for kernels less than 2.6.9.  Currently, you would need arpstar-legacy to compile on those kernels.  available at: arpstar.sourceforge.net

[Comment 7 RockCrusha 2005-02-27 22:31:58 UTC]

Stefan, oh sorry, 2.6.11?  i misread it as 2.6.1, my fault.
As i was saying before, arpstar-legacy for kernels prior to 2.6.9, and ArpStar-0.5.0 has been tested for 2.6.9 and 2.6.10.  cannot vouch for 2.6.11 compatibility yet.

[Comment 8 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2005-02-28 05:11:11 UTC]

Does my ebuild work for you with 2.6.10?

[Comment 9 RockCrusha 2005-03-02 16:55:22 UTC]

yes it does

[Comment 10 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2005-03-04 05:32:53 UTC]

Thanks, I added the ebuild for kernels 2.6.9 and 2.6.10 only.

[Comment 11 John Shaw 2005-03-04 06:02:12 UTC]

I used your ebuild with my own vanilla 2.6.11 kernel with the grsec patch applied and it worked fine.

[Comment 12 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2005-03-04 06:22:46 UTC]

It does not for me :(

Does it depend on a special CONFIG_OPTION?
I do not have any iptables stuff selected .. maybe thats it?

any idea?

[Comment 13 John Shaw 2005-03-04 06:25:32 UTC]

It appears that you don't have netfilter support in your kernel.  The nf_hook_ops structure is apart of the netfilter code.

[Comment 14 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2005-03-04 06:35:22 UTC]

ok, I corrected the ebuild, now it depends on CONFIG_NETFILTER and also installs the documentation .. I hope its ok for you that way.

oh .. and it does not stop merging for 2.6.11 any longer ;)

[Comment 15 John Shaw 2005-03-04 06:40:56 UTC]

Sweet... thanks for the sample of how a kernel modules ebuild should work btw:)

[Comment 16 RockCrusha 2005-03-05 23:41:07 UTC]

awesome.  arpstar-0.5.5 just came out :)
should be compatible with most/all 2.6 kernels.

[Comment 17 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-03-06 00:13:35 UTC]

 if kernel_is lt 2 6 9
        then
                einfo "This module does not build for kernels <2.6.9"
                die "Kernel too new .."
        fi

Should probably be

                die "Kernel too old .."

;-)

version bumped, thanks :)
