Răzvan, Please note that each distro has policies regarding how packages in its stable or released versions. I cannot speak for the way updates to packages in EPEL are handled, but as a Debian Developer I can speak to how it works for Debian. Basically, once a Debian release is marked as stable, the only updates which are permitted are for security fixes and to fix serious bugs. The fixes must be targeted, so there is no wholesale updating of packages in Debian with new upstream releases (except in a very small number of cases where targeted fixes are either not possible or feasible). The bottom line is that they version of the Shorewall package in Debian stale will remain the same for life of the particular stable release. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
