I see 0.8.1 in buster-bpo now. Thank you!

Oh, and to be clear, the process is rarely any more complex than "apt-get source firewalld/testing" and "dpkg-buildpackage". firewalld's dependencies are small and slow-changing, at the moment stable-bpo contains all necessary versions for firewalld/testing.

I configure it using the command line; I have found some of the new features and bugfixes in 0.7 to be useful for my setup, so I've been building a samizdat 0.7.2 package myself, which "seems to work". However, I only install firewalld_xxx.deb, not firewall-applet_xxx nor firewall-config_xxx Colm On Wed, Nov 20, 2019 at 8:00 PM Michael Biebl wrote: > Am 20.11.19 um 20:57 schrieb Colm Buckley: > > Hum.

Hum. I can validate the operations of firewalld itself, but I don't use either the applet or the config package.

I feel that the answer is both yes and no. The *packaging* is trivial in my experience - the dependencies of firewalld are fairly small/manageable, and 0.7.2 *seems* to work fine with everything in stable-bpo. However, I have no experience with running Debian test suites and ensuring that all the details are taken care of.

I'm not really sure if I can commit to that. I would need help with packaging and testing.

@biebl - looks as though stable-bpo's nftables package tracks upstream pretty closely; if https://github.com/firewalld/firewalld/issues/540 is resolved, would you consider looking at packaging 0.8.0 for backports?

Package: firewalld Version: 0.7.1-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, firewalld 0.7 introduces sufficient new capabilities that it would be great to see it more widely available in the stable distribution. I would like to suggest that it be added to buster-backports. It does not appear to have any version conflicts with the dependencies shipped in buster; hopefully there is no significant work involved here. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
