Description Wolfram Schlich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-13 08:24:37 UTC
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?).
Comment 1 Wolfram Schlich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-11 18:12:50 UTC
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.
Comment 2 Wolfram Schlich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-28 14:40:06 UTC
Hey Mike, I saw you recently cleaned up the tcp-wrappers
patchset. Are you interested in bringing these important
patches into our package?
Comment 3 Wolfram Schlich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-23 23:27:21 UTC
Anyone else?
Comment 4 Wolfram Schlich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-28 08:55:34 UTC
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?
Comment 5 Christoph Erdle 2009-03-29 18:40:10 UTC
Is there any progress of including some of the patches into the Gentoo patchset? I desperately miss the aclexec functionality Debian provides.
