I''d like to ask for clarification on the upgrade procedure using tarballs. In the past, with version 4.4, I have downloaded shorewall-4.4.x.y.tar.bz2 and shorewall6-4.4.x.y.tar.bz2, extracted each, and executed ''install.sh -s'' in each directory. Now there is a new package shorewall-core-4.5.x.y.tar.bz2. As I understand it, with version 4.5, this core package needs to be installed prior to shorewall-4.5.x.y and shorewall6-4.5.x.y. I find that ''shorewall-core-4.5.x.y/install.sh -s'' outputs a usage message, although ''install -s'' is listed as an available option. Also the release notes state "Shorewall and Shorewall6 now share a single install.sh file as do Shorewall Lite and Shorewall6 Lite." I don''t understand what this means in terms of the installation/upgrade procedure, since both the shorewall-4.5.x.y and shorewall6-4.5.x.y directories contain this (identical) file, and it seems that install.sh still needs to be executed for both shorewall and shorewall6. I reviewed the web page http://www.shorewall.net/Install.htm, but it does not appear to address these issues (last updated 2011/05/14). If the installation/upgrade procedure for 4.5 is documented elsewhere, would you please let me know. Otherwise would you please comment on the proper upgrade procedure to 4.5. Thanks. Jeff. Jeffry A.

During the build process prior to release, the file is duplicated from the Shorewall directory into the Shorewall6 directory.> > I reviewed the web page http://www.shorewall.net/Install.htm, but it > does not appear to address these issues (last updated 2011/05/14). > If the installation/upgrade procedure for 4.5 is documented > elsewhere, would you please let me know.

Thanks for your help, Tom.>> I reviewed the web page http://www.shorewall.net/Install.htm > I''ve updated that article. The update is available now on http://www1.shorewall.net and will be replicated to the mirrors shortly.It looks like the page Introduction.html needs to be updated as well with regard to Shorewall 4.5. Also I think a reference from the "Shorewall Installation and Upgrade" page (Install.htm) to the "Shorewall Version 4" page (Shorewall-4.html) would also be helpful with regard to the prerequisites, particularly now that there is a new one (Digest::SHA1) for Shorewall 4.5.

Jeff.Install.htm already links to upgrade_issues.htm which I''ve just updated to reflect the issues surrounding upgrades to 4.5 (including the new module dependency). -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.

I''ll check later for the revised version. Meanwhile my upgrade to 4.5.0.1 was successful. Thanks again for your help.
