I'd like to ask for clarification on the upgrade procedure using tarballs. In 
the past, with version 4.4, I have downloaded shorewall-4.4.x.y.tar.bz2 and 
shorewall6-4.4.x.y.tar.bz2, extracted each, and executed 'install.sh -s' in 
each directory.

Now there is a new package shorewall-core-4.5.x.y.tar.bz2. As I understand it, 
with version 4.5, this core package needs to be installed prior to 
shorewall-4.5.x.y and shorewall6-4.5.x.y. I find that 
'shorewall-core-4.5.x.y/install.sh -s' outputs a usage message, although 
'install -s' is listed as an available option.

Also the release notes state "Shorewall and Shorewall6 now share a single 
install.sh file as do Shorewall Lite and Shorewall6 Lite." I don't understand 
what this means in terms of the installation/upgrade procedure, since both the 
shorewall-4.5.x.y and shorewall6-4.5.x.y directories contain this (identical) 
file, and it seems that install.sh still needs to be executed for both 
shorewall and shorewall6.

I reviewed the web page http://www.shorewall.net/Install.htm, but it does not 
appear to address these issues (last updated 2011/05/14). If the 
installation/upgrade procedure for 4.5 is documented elsewhere, would you 
please let me know. Otherwise would you please comment on the proper upgrade 
procedure to 4.5. Thanks. Jeff.
