It seems these are the numbers: In the case of nftables * 327K withtout tests * 388K with tests In case of conntrack-tools * 496K without tests * 503K with tests I don't think this is a big deal. Other release tarballs include tests or qa files (libnftnl, ipset, libnetfilter-conntrack...) -- Arturo Borrero González -- 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
