Re: Could we have Portmaster (an open source application firewall)?

I haven’t looked deeply into Portmaster, but in general:

- Getting something into Fedora requires an interested volunteer to do the work, or, more rarely, someone’s job to pay them do package maintenance.

- We can’t just redistribute the upstream RPM. For a number of good reasons, Fedora packages must be built from source on Fedora infrastructure, without network access, and from sources cached in Fedora infrastructure.

- If there are dependencies not packaged in Fedora, they need to be packaged too.

Assuming Portmaster can be packaged in a way that is compliant with Fedora’s Packaging Guidelines, and if there is someone who has the time and interest to package and maintain it in Fedora, then it would of course be a welcome addition.
