ulogd - rpm file generation

ulogd - rpm file generation

[Gomathivinayagam Muthuvinayagam]

Hi,

I'm trying to build ulogd rpm file for a system x86_64 architecture.
There is a spec file provided in ulogd tar file.
Can I use that and build it? Is it updated one? Or still I have to go
through Makefile and find out if anything is missing?

Please bear with me, I'm trying to build rpm for the first time.

Thanks & Regards,

Doubtful that it is still current.
What is current though, is
http://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=ulogd&project=security:netfilter

Thank you, Does netfilter maintain the rpms for different
architectures somewhere?
In the netfilter website, I am not able to see them, other than tar files.

I would be happy if I am able to download all the rpms for ulogd & its
dependencies for x86_64 architecture. It will help to speed up my
work.
I am not able to find them in rpmfind website.

Thanks & Regards,

The NF Project does not officially provide any binaries whatsoever; what 
you see on build.opensuse.org is a semi-official courtesy of mine.

The packages are there (the webui URL I gave).
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/netfilter is the 
direct DL directory.

Thank you, Possibly, if there is a link in netfilter website for your
opensuse packages page, it will be great.
I did not find this in Google.
I will use the rpms from the provided link.
Thanks & Regards,

For some packages like ulogd, conntrack there is no rpms available for
RHEL5 version.
It says it is disabled. Is there any reason for that?

Thanks & Regards,

ulogd depends on libnetfilter_acct, which in turn requires glibc >= 2.9, 
and RHEL5 is just too damn old.

Nope! If libnetfilter_acct is compiled from source it does *not* require 
glibc >= 2.9 and uses the version of glibc on the host system.

It is how I managed to build (and use) ulogd on one of my FC13-based 
machines - built and installed it from source, together with its 
immediate dependencies (libnetfilter_acct-devel, libnetfilter_log-devel, 
libnfnetlink-devel & libnetfilter_conntrack_devel).

There is currently a "bug" in the main ulogd.spec file (at least for my 
Fedora distribution) as it doesn't have a BuildRequires for 
libnetfilter_acct-devel - maybe because Fedora people are too lazy and 
haven't got arround to create the libnetfilter_acct package yet.

(Well, you can't compile it from anything else than source, so...)

> it does *not* require glibc >= 2.9

libnetfilter_acct.c: In function 'nfacct_nlmsg_build_payload':
libnetfilter_acct.c:348: warning: implicit declaration of function 'htobe64'

and htobe64(3) says htobe64 is available starting glibc-2.9.
Additionally,

../include/linux/netfilter/nfnetlink.h:4:46: error:
linux/netfilter/nfnetlink_compat.h: No such file or directory

so it also requires linux-glibc-devel >= 2.6.24, which RHEL5 also
does not have.

Who would have thought. There is no other glibc to use in the first place.

No idea what you patched in the package, or otherwise did to your
system. On a pure Centos 5.8. I did *NOT* talk about fc13.

I don't give two hoots what is/isn't supported on a bloody CentOS 
system, quite frankly! The point I was making is that libnetfilter_acct 
does *NOT* depend on glibc 2.9 as evident from my previous post.

Nothing is evident from your post, except that you were building for 
FC13 which shipped glibc-2.12 and thus satisfies ">= 2.9".

Fair enough! I though FC13 was archaic enough, but Red Hat proved me wrong.
