Hi Tom,

In the release notes for Shorewall 4.0 Patch release 7.2, it says that
"Shorewall 4.0.7.2 removes the incorrect syntax in both Shorewall-perl
and in Shorewall-shell." in reference to the fix regarding police
filters. But in the errata directory, there are only patches for
shorewall-perl. Should there not also be a patch against
shorewall-shell?

I just uploaded the patch.

But if Fedora isn't going to release the broken iproute2 package, there is no reason to release the Shorewall workarounds. The workarounds are primarily for Debian users who are using the Testing repository.

The iproute2 package has been determined to be broken and the upstream maintainer has already backed out the change. I've already backed the workaround out of both my 4.0 and 4.1 trees.

On a related note, you should be using the patches in the release subvolume rather than those in the errata. The latter are intended to be installed into a runnning system while the former can be applied during package build.
