Thanks for the reminder, I forgot to remove the feature-removal-schedule entry last time you asked. We really can't remove ip_queue. Many users use this, there is no binary compatible interface and even the compat replacement for the originally statically linked library doesn't work. There is also no real necessity to remove the code, so the feature-removal-schedule entry should be removed instead. Dave, please apply this patch. Thanks. --------------020404040304010408040009 Content-Type: text/plain; name="x" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="x" diff --git a/Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt b/Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt index b3949cd..8244716 100644 --- a/Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt +++ b/Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt @@ -70,18 +70,6 @@ Who: Dominik Brodowski --------------------------- -What: ip_queue and ip6_queue (old ipv4-only and ipv6-only netfilter queue) -When: December 2005 -Why: This interface has been obsoleted by the new layer3-independent - "nfnetlink_queue".
