Becuase for me the firewall package is a high priority and important to be an
official maintained one. I need to have a package to depend on. I think it
may be true for others also.
Shorewall project is very excellent in maintenance. The discussions and bug
fixing are very alive! So it is obvious that the Shorewall project holds the
shorewall application in high priority.
For Opensuse although it is the distribution I use for now the shorewall
application does not seem a priority to the project. It is not an official
package for a long time. I think there was never even one version 5 ?
With these new packages from Tom Eastep there is now something official that
has high priority focus. I will learn and test them and provide the feedback
here.
If it becomes as I truly hope the accepted practice to make these rpms inside
the Shorewall project, I do not see the advantage of doing it separately in a
nonofficial 'home' project at Opensuse.
