Especially since it builds kernel modules, you would have to build it against all kernels/kernel flavors. On opensuse that's easy so I do that, but for debian for example -> :rolleyes:, someone else please take over :-) I rather focus on xt-a itself. Given that patches start trickling into the main iptables package, something will probably happen automatically, but that's a bit into the future still it seems - depends on how fast the merge goes. Leaves xtables-addons; if distros could jump on it themselves, the better. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
