Beta 1 is now available for testing. One of the problems I've had with the Shorewall products is trying to keep them all in sync. There have been two copies of each shell library and four CLI programs.
To simplify maintenance, I have collapsed each of the library pairs into a
single library and have reduced the number of CLI programs from four to two
(one for the 'lite' products and one for the full-blown products).
I have kept the same package structure for now, but I have begun work on
Shorewall 4.5 where I will change the structure to eliminate more duplication
on systems where the products are installed.
Beginning with this release, the following files are identical.
- /sbin/shorewall and /sbin/shorewall6
- /sbin/shorewall-lite and /sbin/shorewall6/lite
Since Shorewall6 requires Shorewall, /sbin/shorewall6 is now a symbolic link to
/sbin/shorewall.
/sbin/shorewall-lite and /sbin/shorewall6-lite are both installed so that
Shorewall6 Lite is not dependent on Shorewall Lite.
Shorewall and Shorewall6 share use of /usr/share/shorewall/lib.base
/usr/share/shorewall/lib.cli, and /usr/share/shorewall/lib.common.
/usr/share/shorewall6/lib.base is a small file that sets variables and then
sources /usr/share/shorewall/lib.base.
The programs in /sbin set variables based on their base name. Those variables
are then expanded within the common files.
Thank you for testing,
