I suppose we could put ipfilter's kernel components in sys/netpfil but what about the userland sources? Also see my reply below regarding keeping it in contrib. > > In future imports do: > > - commit newer ipfilter to vendor-sys/ipfilter > - svn merge vendor-sys/ipfilter to sys/netpfil/ipfilter > > What's the reason to keep code in contrib? The reason to keep ipftilter in contrib is to maintain consistency with other contributed software such as bind, nvi, sendmail, pf, and a host of other notable software we don't maintain ourselves. Maintaining consistency with other contributed software should probably be maintained. I'm open to moving all packet filters, e.g. ipfw, pf, and ipfilter into sys/netpfil as long as consistency is maintained across the board. Do you think we should put the userland sources also in the same location or should we maintain a similar separation we do today? I'm open to both however I'd prefer keeping all vendor software (kernel and userland) in one location. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert_at_komquats.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy_at_FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.Received on Fri Jul 05 2013 - 16:38:24 UTC
