Hi,
I'd like to know about the status of the ip6t_REJECT patch which is
found in patch-o-matic-ng. I'm not sure I know how to read subversion
logs, but it appears not to have changed in nearly a year, which, when
it comes to software, generally means "dead and possibly bitrotten".
So: is it dead? Or has it simply reached a point of stability and
maturity such that it no longer needs to be updated? If so, is it
stable enough to be in production use? When is there a hope of seeing
it in mainline kernels? (I'm currently doing my IPv6 firewall with
the DROP target, which is in all respects very unsatisfactory.)
PS: It would be highly useful if the iptables/ip6tables man pages
tried to indicate which targets, matches and whatnots are available in
mainline kernels and which need a special patch. Especially as the
error messages are - uh - unhelpful.
Happy hacking,
