patch-o-matic-ng 20040621

patch-o-matic-ng it is a system to apply netfilter-related patches to the latest kernel and/or iptables sources. FOLLOW THESE STEPS: 0) There may be some outstanding bugfixes or tweaks which are not yet in the official kernel. To look through these, do: # KERNEL_DIR=<<where-you-built-your-kernel>> IPTABLES_DIR=<<where-the-source-of-iptables>> ./runme pending Please note that you have to recompile your kernel and your kernel modules after this step of kernel patching. Thats it! FEELING BRAVE? 1) The netfilter core team is maintaining a set of extensions / new features which are not yet committed to the mainstream kernel tree. They are a collection of maybe-broken maybe-cool third-party extensions. Please note that you cannot apply any combination of any of those patches. Some of them are incompatible... This is why we provide two ways of applying them: If you want to try some extensions, and be sure that they dont break each other, you can do the following: # KERNEL_DIR=<<where-you-built-your-kernel>> IPTABLES_DIR=<<where-the-source-of-iptables>> ./runme base It will modify you kernel source (so back it up first!). You will have to recompile / rebuild your kernel and modules. Alternatively, if you really know what your are doing, you can use the following command in order to offer you the full list of choices. Be aware that we dont prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot. % KERNEL_DIR=<<where-you-built-your-kernel>> IPTABLES_DIR=<<where-the-source-of-iptables>> ./runme extra.
