My initial intention was to "own" ipfilter by FreeBSD, since for the last years it was unmaintained, and its contrib status prevented people from touching its sources. Now, that Darren responded on this thread and promises to take our patches upstream, I am fine with having it in contrib. -- Totus tuus, Glebius.Received on Tue Jul 09 2013 - 18:42:39 UTC
