SRPM URL: http://jgu.fedorapeople.org/shorewall-common-4.0.4-1.fc7.src.rpm

Description: 
The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as "Shorewall", is a
Netfilter (iptables) based firewall that can be used on a dedicated
firewall system, a multi-function gateway/ router/server or on a
standalone GNU/Linux system. 

The version 3 release series of Shorewall is already available in Fedora. With 
the release of version 4, upstream has added a new perl based rule compiler and 
completely changed the way the package is distributed. The shell-based and 
perl-based compilers are each distributed as individual tarballs, and files 
required to run shorewall with either compiler are packaged as a third tarball, 
shorewall-common. 

The shorewall-perl compilers is suggested for new
installed systems and shorewall-shell is provided for backwards
compatibility and smooth legacy system upgrades because shorewall perl
is not fully compatible with all legacy configurations.

This package contains the files required by shorewall-perl and
shorewall-shell to run. You need to install the shorewall-perl and/or
shorewall-shell package(s) for a functional firewall.

shorewall-common is also required by shorewall-lite, a light-weight Shorewall 
version that will run compiled firewall scripts generated on a system with one 
of the compiler packages installed.
