Surely there was a feature page for this? There was, and a long-running FESCo debate about whether to accept the feature. For the latter, see the FESCo meeting logs from around Alpha to Beta time (it got accepted as a feature quite late). For the former, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/firewalld-default . The description of the feature states "system-config-firewall in it's current form will also be replaced", but provides no more detail. It links to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FirewallD , which states "The configuration tool firewall-config is the main configuration tool for the firewall daemon." and lists, under the Fedora 17 entry in 'Development Phases', "Finalize firewall-applet and firewall-config " - clearly, that didn't actually happen. twoerner's statement that firewall-config isn't done yet is to be found at https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-March/164865.html . I don't think we've had an update since then. firewall-applet appears to exist, but I'm somewhat confused as to exactly what it's supposed to achieve. I'm not sure if it's working entirely as intended in GNOME Shell. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
