Recently, KP sent me a private email that commented unfavorably on the increasing size of Shorewall. In my response, I indicated that there was some low-hanging fruit that could be picked to reduce Shorewall's overall size.
I made some of the changes in the just-released 3.2.3 version. I've now completed the work and the current version in SVN (branches/3.2/Shorewall) shows the result. Here is Shorewall version 3.2.2: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/shorewall/tags/3.2.2/Shorewall$ ls -lS | head total 1001 -rwxr-xr-x 1 teastep teastep 217476 2006-08-10 07:12 compiler -rwxr-xr-x 1 teastep teastep 61995 2006-08-10 07:12 firewall -rw-r--r-- 1 teastep teastep 50659 2006-08-10 07:12 functions -rwxr-xr-x 1 teastep teastep 43981 2006-08-10 07:12 shorewall -rw-r--r-- 1 teastep teastep 31694 2006-08-10 07:12 shorewall.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 teastep teastep 16895 2006-08-10 07:12 rules [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/shorewall/tags/3.2.2/Shorewall$ Here is the current SVN Version: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/shorewall/branches/3.2/Shorewall$ ls -lS | head total 981 -rwxr-xr-x 1 teastep teastep 201670 2006-08-27 09:42 compiler -rw-r--r-- 1 teastep teastep 69520 2006-08-27 09:28 functions -rwxr-xr-x 1 teastep teastep 46039 2006-08-25 09:29 shorewall -rw-r--r-- 1 teastep teastep 32070 2006-08-17 09:08 shorewall.conf -rwxr-xr-x 1 teastep teastep 23952 2006-08-27 09:20 firewall -rw-r--r-- 1 teastep teastep 16895 2006-05-18 11:05 rules [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/shorewall/branches/3.2/Shorewall$ While 'functions' has grown, both 'compiler' and 'firewall' have been reduced significantly in size.
