Package: wnpp Severity: normal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512
I request assistance with maintaining the shorewall package. The package description is: Shorewall allows firewall/gateway requirements to be described using entries in a set of configuration files. It reads those configuration files and, with the help of the iptables utility, configures netfilter to match these requirements. . Shorewall supports a wide range of router/firewall/gateway applications, traffic shaping and almost every type of VPN. I have maintained the Shorewall packages in Debian for quite a few years now, but my time to work on them has diminished. The reality is that there are several issues that require attention, which I cannot at the moment attend to. Over time the severity of these issues will likely increase and the eventual result is that the Shorewall packages could be removed from Debian. If someone were to be able to devote some effort toward helping, I could help with reviewing patches, sponsoring uploads, etc. It is still my hope that I will find additional time to work on the Shorewall Debian packages, but I do not want to make my inability to find enough time now cause users of Debian to lose out on access to good quality Shorewall packages. Note that this RFH really encompasses the shorewall, shorewall6, shorewall-lite, shorewall6-lite, shorewall-doc, and shorewall-core source packages. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEIYZ1DR4ae5UL01q7ldFmTdL1kUIFAmBjLvUACgkQldFmTdL1 kUI9pA/9FqVYHab6iWdVfUpMm8hzCDYLEs1SRk3cIDWyMWWkGS5Me/gXKi0tok+0 EIN/I6jjaTctM/atDFuq3u8c8exdqrCszeIrrjjPiS1uKhUwYPc0N+obu5RHohOt ns2F2vhg9C/pSMH1J4g1JWwQA5sqjxXWoP4WxhS8H5JdcxBI48pPETFuG4dsJQQx SiwmA53PqrBao8c1p3c0Z+efDhIZgUp5GRANS9lbzCtNsj0s7zH/tHqsjtP82Jy+ IKJccPv5u1X/ChRf6AITD7fI9Xsn3qcxikfZgD5O0Yd9/AGJtbsR590yw4jZHFYZ qIYFEOGJslYOXx4brAq5Cweevw9VzvIyjPeBjtKoOGYbSadH7+A357UIOqBUWvji ZEaMVeO2V0s29+2RYE4A1bvbqOSkuuDQ6WG9z1z8qE2UhN4G65sljw6tYPtDOGZ3 N2jkBHo1N+9+OuC2rjKkuCfF1yfgVNbvlSUjMidNnjWRiW+PA6o7cVK8c8fuYQK3 ML/Pvib2LvEoyeetTPWijcnePr/Wrw5U0OeRxCNAXxfFBw4/JSyqudF/wiuvEfUV hqEjttomIEkcSF8bf81DvQoxzjBnnQjrFS566esUR71VAjGuqEk4WVaL0ENhPNxL Fjkjt5xIckCJIdvmCDPaRz66MrSPMGY+JX3eBjvGp33wgKJLVsY= =apRC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
