Hi Hauke, This reminds me of an issue I’ve run into. xtables-addons-3.0 will build on 4.14, but xtables-addons-3.1 requires 4.19 at a minimum. Is it reasonable to have xtables-addons/Makefile pick a version based on the kernel version? -Philip _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
