Hi, thanks for putting me in CC. If you remove the EBT_*_ macros from
ebtables.h this will break the ebtables userspace compilation. For the
other patches I have no objection except that the MODULE_DESCRIPTION
isn't consistent with using upper case after 'Ebtables: ', but I guess
that's nitpicking :) Anyway, thanks Jan.
Btw, Patrick, I'm sure you've noticed I'm not very active in ebtables
development anymore. It has come to the point that I no longer find
pleasure in investing my spare time and energy in serious ebtables
development: most interesting ebtables things have been done for me. I'm
still around for bugfixing or commenting on patches, though (I tend to
only read things on ebtables-devel and stuff I'm CC'ed in). So if there
would ever arrive an active developer who has some serious ebtables
contributions (like getting access to the xt_ matches) and a long-term
commitment, I'm willing to step down as maintainer ((s)he'd have to take
over the responsibility for the userspace tool too). Anyway, no need to
worry that I'll suddenly abandon my project :) I think for bridge-nf
you're already the true maintainer, though you can always CC me for my
opinion (feel free to update the header of br_netfilter.c).
cheers,
Bart
