SRPM URL: http://jgu.fedorapeople.org/shorewall-perl-4.0.4-1.fc7.src.rpm
Description: 

The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as "Shorewall", is a
Netfilter (iptables) based firewall that can be used on a dedicated
firewall system, a multi-function gateway/ router/server or on a
standalone GNU/Linux system. 

The version 3 release series of Shorewall is already available in Fedora. With the release of version 4, upstream has added a new perl based rule compiler and completely changed the way the package is distributed. The shell-based and perl-based compilers are each distributed as individual tarballs, and files required to run shorewall with either compiler are packaged as a third tarball, shorewall-common. 

The shorewall-perl compilers is suggested for new
installed systems and shorewall-shell is provided for backwards
compatibility and smooth legacy system upgrades because shorewall perl
is not fully compatible with all legacy configurations.

This package contains the files for the perl-based rule compiler.
