Summary: Review Request: Shorewall Version 4 - Iptables-based firewall - Review Tracker bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=321731 ------- Additional Comments From jonathan.underwood@xxxxxxxxx 2007-10-07 20:21 EST ------- For background, the reason that Ports.pm is generated rather than direclty parsing /etc/{services,protocols} is given by upstream: 3) Previously, Shorewall-perl read /etc/protocols and /etc/services during compiler startup to build internal protocol and service tables. This had a fixed cost of up to one half second or more, depending on the speed of the system and the distribution (The /etc/services released with OpenSuSE 10.2 is over 14,000 lines!!) These tables are now initialized by the Perl compiler which speeds up compilation considerably. During installation, Shorewall generates the Perl module /usr/share/shorewall-perl/Shorewall/Ports.pm, using your /etc/protocols and /etc/services as input. To re-generate the module from those two files: 1. Backup your current /usr/share/shorewall-perl/Shorewall/Ports.pm file. 2. /usr/share/shorewall-perl/buildports.pl > \ /usr/share/shorewall-perl/Shorewall/Ports.pm Note: If the buildports.pl program fails to run to a successful completion during installation, a fallback version of module will be installed. That fallback module was generated from the /etc/protocols and /etc/services shipped with Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. Even if the buildports.pl program runs successfully, the fallback module is also installed as /usr/share/shorewall-perl/Shorewall/FallbackPorts.pm. So if you encounter problems with the generated module, simply copy the fallback module to /usr/share/shorewall-perl/Shorewall/Ports.pm. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
