Shorewall 4.0.0 RC1 has been uploaded and is being replicated to the mirrors. The RC1 documentation is available in the 4.0/ directory on the web sites (e.g., http://www.shorewall.net/4.0/). While Shorewall 4.0.0 RC1 contains Shorewall-perl, installation and use of Shorewall-perl is optional. You may continue to use the shell-based configuration compiler (Shorewall-shell) with this release. Shorewall 4.0.0 is nearly identical to Shorewall 3.4.4 when using Shorewall-shell so the migration issues are minimal. Nevertheless, the packaging of Shorewall has changed since 3.4.4 so it is essential that you carefully review the release notes (http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/development/4.0/shorewall-4.0.0-RC1/releasenotes.txt) before attempting to upgrade. Shorewall-perl-4.0.0-RC1 cannot be installed under Shorewall 3.4.4 (or at least the RPM cannot). So if you want to use Shorewall-perl-4.0.0-RC1, please install the other RC1 components along with Shorewall-perl. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
