[ANNOUNCE] Debian packages for libnfnetlink, libnetfilter-{queue, log, conntrack}, conntrack

[Max Kellermann]

Hi,

I have created Debian packages for some of the new Netfilter userspace
libraries / programs.  You can download them at my temporary
repository:

 deb http://max.kellermann.name/download/netfilter/debian ./
 deb-src http://max.kellermann.name/download/netfilter/debian ./

If nobody objects, I will try to bring these packages into Debian sid.
Please test the packages and share your opinion!

Max

Very nice, but please wait with trying to get them into
sid until we have resolved the CTA_PROTO_NUM issue.

That's really great news, thanks for your work. 

I don't have a chance to look at those packets at the moment, since I
only have very short periods of connectivity (actually pushing those
mails over UUCP over SSL over IP over GPRS ;)

I've changed libnetlink_conntrack to use the correct type, I guess
we should release this soon. Harald, I'm not familiar with the
process, can you please take care of this?

I think we should add some comment about required kernel and wait for 
2.6.14.5 and 2.6.15 to come out.

yes, I'll do a new release.  Do we only need libnetfilter_conntrack, or
also other packages (libnfnetlink / conntrack)?

Thanks. The CTA_PROTO_NUM issue only requires a new
libnetfilter_conntrack release, but there might be other reasons
for releasing the other libraries as well. Pablo probably knows
better than me.

A new release of conntrack could be fine. From ChangeLog:

2005-13-03
<pablo@netfilter.org>
        o Add support to filter events. ie: -p tcp --orig-port-dst 80 in
        conjuction with -E to get all the requests to HTTP servers
        o Update manpage
        o Missing static function declaration in the protocol handlers
        o Use protocol flags defined in libnetfilter_conntrack
        o Bumped version to 0.991

2005-11-22
<marcus@ingate.com>
        o Fix oversized number of options

IMHO, it's worth a new release.

Something different but related, about the first 1.0 release of
conntrack: I think that it should be done once I finish with the ipv6
(nf_conntrack) support that I'm currently working on.

I forgot to talk about libnfnetlink: I don't think that we need a new
release. The last version 0.0.13 happened on 2005-Nov-14. The only
commit after that day is Krzysztof Oledzki's spelling fix. So it can wait.
