Thread: [Devil-Linux-discuss] shorewall update

Hi all,

is there a shorewall update planned for the next release of DevilLinux?
There are quite some newer versions available now.

Thanks
  Didi

Didi,

 

The newer shorewall version requires updates to the build script and thus
also more testing.

Unfortunately I don't have much time anymore to work on these types of
tasks. But if anybody can figure it out and send in a patch, then I'll be
more than happy to add it.

 

Best Regards

  Heiko Zuerker

I started to try a new Shorewall month ago. From less than two weeks I test it on a production
router. It seems that it is OK.

I built version 4.5.21.3. For this you need two files: shorewall-core-4.5.21.3.tar.bz2 and
shorewall-4.5.21.3.tar.bz2. Hope, my patch will be good for next versions.

Now Shorewall requires a configuration file shorewallrc and is looking for it in the
/usr/share/shorewall. Because of it I edit built script not only for compile both source files,
but also for solve shorewallrc problem according to the architecture of the DL. I put shorewallrc
into /etc/shorewall and this is linked to the original position, so shorewallrc can be modified.
Initial contents of shorewallrc is sufficient for my existing shorewall configurations to work
without changes.

I warn all, that my production tests has only two weeks and may go into some surprises.

With Christmas regards

Andrzej,

Thanks for the patch, I added it to CVS.
The new shorewall will be included in the next DL release.

Best Regards
