i'm now managing shorewall centrally on a bunch of different machines.
I want to control the version I install so I can have a consistent version,
with its capabilities, across all platforms.
Can't depend on the different pkgs for this -- they're different versions.
Building rpms & debs etc is a PITA.
My goal is a single tarball install that I will deploy into /opt/shorewall.
I found the build & install docs about the shorewallrc 'method'.
I created a 'shorewallrc.generic' for each of the packages and setup the
locations like i need them.
Since I want a 'generic' build, I chose HOST=linux -- it's one of the options,
and you can't set your own if it's not listed. The install fails.
With HOST=linux all the installs are OK -- except for shorewall-init.
It fails with
ERROR: Shorewall-init is not supported on this system
That's because of
cat ./shorewall-init-4.6.7/install.sh
...
case "$HOST" in
...
>>> linux)
>>> echo "ERROR: Shorewall-init is not supported on this system" >&2
>>> exit 1
;;
*)
echo "ERROR: Unsupported HOST distribution: \"$HOST\"" >&2
exit 1;
;;
...
I can patch that out of the way, but it's inconvenient and making an not
necessarily valid assumption.
Can we possibly have an option to install a generic shorewall that doesn't make
presumptions and forces an exit?
either an override $PARAM to the HOST=linux case check, a 'generic' HOST with
no restrictions at all, or the option to name our own host would do the trick.
thanks
