Time to unveil some plans. I am not sure where exactly I picked the idea up, probably in one of the last discussions on netfilter-devel, to make ebtables use xtables code. Well, I am in the process of writing up a bunch of patches to get us closer to that. Nothing spectacularly interesting for modules (ebt_*.c), but at the same time I have to give a worry about the userspace code. ebtables and arptables have not gotten the same attention as iptables and look a bit disheveled. Eventually I would just merge them with the iptables tree so it also shares all the option parsing and whatnot. It would be most convenient to use a better VCS (thinking git) because running quilt on top of svn or even cvs (ebtables) is not too nice, even more if the changeset agglomeration is then lost in cvs. While Patrick still seems to be AWOL for an opinion, I would want to know from all parties (iptables, ebtables) if we can take this management step. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
