Hi! I have digged into the archive after reading in the handbook that pf is stuck at OpenBSD's 4.1 version, which is now quite old (may 2007).
I have found this thread mentionning testing required for a patch: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-pf/2010-October/005842.html ... it then seemed the patch had some issues: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-pf/2010-October/005860.html Others have raised a similar issue about backporting 4.7 into FreeBSD: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-pf/2010-October/005862.html For context, OpenBSD 4.7 (may 2010) is the last significant release including changes in pf: http://openbsd.org/47.html#new So my question is: what's the plan? Is anybody actively maintaining pf in FreeBSD at this point? Is it because the backporting process is painful that it's not being done regularly? Or is it only because of the lack of testers? A. PS: I ask because we're considering switching our routers from OpenBSD to FreeBSD to ease maintenance (yay freebsd-update) but the outdated pf version is a serious hindrance as we're looking at using the new 'sloppy' state tracking mecanisms PPS: please CC, i'm not on the list (yet?) -- Antoine Beaupré Réseau Koumbit Networks +1.514.387.6262
