It compiles and works well on current Sid kernel, so I think that this is possible to include it into mainline. I will certainly suggest upstream to give it a try. The main difficult here might be that there is not just a kernel module, but also a corresponding iptables shared library module, so it will require some coordination with netfilter project as well. > Nonetheless I'm interested to see > this package in Debian as well (though I have no upload capabilities), > therefore some suggestions if you don't find a sponsor: > > - - /Maybe/ rename the package to "iptables-netflow" or even > "xtables-netflow", upstream seems to use "ipt-netflow", but the main > package for Debian is called "iptables" as well, whereas extensions are > called xtables-* [1] Seems reasonable. But if existent ipt-netflow users will look for it in Debian archive they will look for "ipt-netflow" as it refers upstream. Don't think this is a big deal. If sponsor will have opinion that I need to change the package name, I will certainly do. > - - Feel free to contact package maintainers of similar packages directly > to get an upload.
