Hi All, Himanshu here. Having used iptables and ebtables in U.G. projects, I acknowledge dev team's effort in making this a reality. I'm interested in contributing to net-filter development and if I'm able to fix few bugs before deadline(so that I consider myself good enough), I would like to put up a request for taking Task 1 or 2(here : http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/nf-ideas-2018.txt) as GSoc 2018 Project. I did following to get started: 1. I did an empty search(no search query) on Bugzilla and found two "targets" for me to fix: a. A printing bug(https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1211), just to get started. b. Another somewhat advanced bug(https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1161), to get hands dirty. This bug causes entire pipeline to fail and should provide a better insight/overview to me. 2. I pulled out code corresponding to 1.a (iptables:1.6.1), and compiled it. After staring at code, for some time, I believe "static int list_entries" function at line 913 is the culprit. Question : A. Are these bugs a sensible choice? B. Which order would you suggest for reading and messing with code? for e.g read this part first, then this and so on. Please help me out, so that i can set forth my Open-source journey.
