Firestarter

There is a tool for setting firewall rules installed by default called ufw, for those that need a graphical tool to set firewall rules, it's just as easy to install gufw, as it is to install firestarter. The biggest problem is one of education, most users assume that firestarter is th

Re: Firestarter (Chris Jones)

e have different views on what constitutes "maintenance". As libraries that Firestarter depends on progress, someone will need to maintain the package to make sure that it installs correctly and works correctly. That's what "maintenance" on a stable package means. Yes, it works

Re: Firestarter (Chris Jones)

Hi, Question: Does it work? If the answer is yes, then it does not need *maintaining **whilst * https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW is also supported, there seems no need to drop an application just because it has reached maturity and needs no further 'tweaking' - Just my 2 cents worth. * * ***

Re: Firestarter (Chris Jones)

I actually want to thank the OP for mentioning this project. It's an easy-to-use, intuitive firewall manager for the masses that I didn't know about. Personally, I hack together my own scripts using iptables directly -- but not everyone either can or wants to do this. I'll be recommending this on

Re: Firestarter

I'm sure there's a few selected people out there among the Ubuntu community who still use Firestarter. And as it has been updated for the Maverick release, there's no real reason/purpose to be discussing a package removal from the repos. Regards -- Chris Jones -- Ubunt

firestarter

Opps, I sent this earlier from the wrong email address. The only update, was to make it so that it will build with new gtk libraries, and other changes that allow it to work with maverick. Firestarter has served well over it's lifetime, but with nobody actually maintaining the program,

When is firestarter going to be removed from the repos, it hasn't been updated since 2005. It's about time the old program was laid to rest. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailma
