It then do its magic (patching the source :)), and you then need to recompile kernel modules/iptables. >how can i upgrade from iptables 1.2.8 to 1.2.9, 1.3, ... etc? there is >a patch named patch-iptables-1.2.8-1.2.9, can i apply it on an >installed 1.2.8 one? >regards >afshin > > > > Gee, I've no idea. I always get the newest (stable) source, build a package from it, and install... :) works pretty well. Basically... yes. Patches are usually containing some bugfixes/new features, so this may be the case... :) yet I dunno if you could dl patch 1.3.2 (for example) and apply it over the 1.2.8 source, resulting the 1.3.2... I think in order to get this source updated, you have to apply them one by one, till you get where you want to... (again, this might not be the case. I never did it that way).
