You can go off a distro, you really can:
* Mon Feb 11 2008 Thomas Woerner <twoerner@xxxxxxxxxx> 1.4.0-1
- new version 1.4.0
- fixed condrestart (rhbz#428148)
- report the module in rmmod_r if there is an error
- use nf_ext_init instead of my_init for extension constructors
The description is possibly a little wrong because the upshot is that in
<xtables.h> "_INIT" and the subsequent definition of "_init" are
replaced with "NF_EXT_INIT" and "nf_ext_init" respectively. Neither
Google nor Red Hat's bugzilla offer any readily findable explanation of
this all I found was quite a few copies of the same comment in various
different RPMs.
The only thing that springs to mind is that variables and C-preprocessor
names whose names begin with "_" are reserved by C and you shouldn't use
them.
If Thomas is listening, can you shed any light?
Would it not be nice, as well, if iptables and xtables could come to an
agreement over what is the right thing to do. I'm surely not the first
person to come unstuck with this.
Right, back to building an RPM from this thing.
