Hoi all, Not sure if I'm using the right list... no doubt someone will tell me if I didn't :-)
Although I (think I) understand the Debian policies with regard to stable, testing and unstable, I find myself caught as I prefer to have stability over having the latest software. I ran into one exception though (so far), which is FWbuilder. I use it to maintain a number of firewalls. The latest releases have been mainly if not only bugfixes, some of them important bugfixes (I prefer not to have bugs in my firewall!). My dillema is: I'd very much like to stick with Debian Sarge while also being able to keep up with an important tool I use for generating firewall scripts. I also very much like to stick with the Debian package management system (one of the reasons for the rock solid stability of Debian). Is there anyone out there than can help me with with a few suggestions how I can easily create a backport of FWbuilder for Sarge (so I can install it on other Sarge systems as well)? I've spend a day trying to work it out (as FWbuilder is split up in a number of packages; the compilation process gets stuck if it can't find the libfwbuilder files etc... Any help is much appreciated. cheers, Jan -- A journalist once asked the late Gandhi what he thought of the western civilization. Gandhi replied: "Western Civilization?
