Hi everyone,
Recently I ran across some issues when compiling iptables 1.2.9
against kernel 2.6.24. It seems that between kernel versions 2.6.31 to
2.6.32, lots of headers were removed from linux/include/netfilter and
linux/include/netfilter_ipv4. Some of them are ipt_connmark.h,
ipt_conntrack.h, ipt_MARK.h and so on.
I recon that the iptables version is rather old but I was wondering if
it possible to patch it in order to compile with the upgrades. I just
can't seem to find any good info on these changes, what was merged or
what's now deprecated. There's no "migrating" guide anywhere and
google isn't helping as much as I would like it to.
Thanks in advance,
-David

Choosing arbitrary kernels is not designed to work before 1.4.3.

Why bother with patching when just using 1.4.9 yields equivalent
behavior?

Oh, that's too bad :(

Thing is that other software modules depend on this headers as well so
I wanted to minimize the impact. I rather patch than bump the version
number.

The risk of incomplete patching is higher than using a newer release.
