Hello,

I am a Mageia (fork of Mandriva) tester and we have currently in our Cauldron
release, being the working version of Mageia 2, the latest version of perl being
perl-5.14.

But now we see a warning when starting shorewall installed from
shorewall-4.4.20.2-1.mga2.noarch.rpm:

Compiling...

Shorewall configuration compiled to /var/lib/shorewall/.restart
Restarting Shorewall...

The words seems to indicate this is harmless from the security point of view,
and probably a warning to shorewall developers that with future versions of perl
the scripting in sw needs adapting to such perl.

Can you please confirm our view?

Shouuld we raise a ticket on shorewall's trac?

Thnanks in advance and regards,
