Re: [Shorewall-devel] Shorewall-4.5.2.x

[Greg' Ar T. <art...@gm...>]

Hi Thomas,

I am currently working on the slackbuild for the new 4.5 series which
will be available on slackbuilds.org (where the  4.4 have been made
available). I was waiting for thing to settle a bit but was also
thinking of waiting for the new slackware to come out before releasing
the 4.5 version as it is a major change in the way the packages are
organised. I will make them available through github if I don't
release them for 13.37.

Cheers

Greg
