Instead of creating an alioth project for ulogd as we dicussed
yesterday, perhaps it would make sense to create a common alioth project
and team, say pkg-netfilter, to maintain ulogd, xtables, iptables,
ebtables, arptables, conntrackd, libnfnetlink,
libnetfilter-{conntrack,log,queue}, nufw?
The involved people would be:
Pierre Chifflier (xtables*, ulogd2, nufw)
Laurence J. Lane (iptables)
Jochen Friedrich (arptables & ebtables)
Jan Christoph Nordholz (ebtables)
Max Kellermann ("netfilter maintainers", libnf*)
Alexander Wirt ("netfilter maintainers", libnf*)
Hilko Bengen (ulog-acctd)
Achilleas Kotsis (ulogd)
myself :) (ulogd, I'd be interested to work on
other packages, if needed)
There are many similarities and/or cross-dependencies between those and
AFAIK there are going to be more -- I've read that in the latest
Netfilter workshop there was a proposal for nftables, an iptables
replacement (perhaps ebtables and arptables too).
Correct me if I'm wrong; Pierre you told me you were at the workshop,
perhaps you know more.
Alexander and Max already began such an effort but perhaps it's a good
idea expanding the team and organizing it better (use alioth, a VCS etc.)
What do you all think?
Regards,
Faidon
