RC 2 is now available for testing. I am breaking with my usual practice and am including new functionality after RC1 is released. I have been working on Shorewall 5 where I want to drop support for several old configuration files:
- blacklist
- tcrules
- routestopped
- notrack
Since the 'update' command wasn't complete with respect to this set of
files, I've added a couple of options to the command -- see below.
Problems Corrected since RC 1:
1) Several issues with 'update -b' have been corrected.
New Features sine RC 1:
1) Two new options are available for the 'update' command:
-r converts a routestopped file to an equivalent stoppedrules file.
-n converts a notrack file to an equivalent conntrack file. If
there is already an existing conntrack file, the converted rules
are appended to the existing file.
WARNING: If you include /usr/share/shorewall/configfiles (or
wherever your distro places empty files) in your CONFIG_FILE
setting and there is no new file in your config directory (such as
/etc/shorewall), then the 'update' command will update the copy of
the file in /usr/share/shorewall/configfiles. This is probably not
what you want, since files in that directory (or your distro's
corresponding directory) will be overwritten by the next upgrade.
Thank you for testing,
-Tom
