Indeed. I've considered to merge it into 2.2, but eventually gave up. It was (and IMHO still is) in a defunct state as it's in the tree now. You need a lot of handwork in order to get it going. The source is in src/contrib, sure, but that's about almost all. It cannot be built as part of the kernel, only as an LKM yet. However, the LKM hooks to build it (under src/lkm) are missing, so it won't be build as an LKM by default. Likewise, the entire command hierarchy hooks that are finally expected to reference src/contrib/ipfilter are missing, too. (This probably requires a bunch of stub Makefiles, maybe with a few -D options in their CFLAGS, that reference the contrib stuff via .PATH statements.) The kernel sources can be compiled into a kernel, but not used, since they don't generate cdevsw entries. The required options to get ipfilter statically compiled into your kernel aren't described in LINT and src/sys/conf/options either. Once these points are fixed (which requires someone who's got a clue about how ipfilter is working, and who can test it -- thus not me), ipfilter can be tagged/merged into RELENG_2_2 as well. Note that the above is in no way ment to put somebody/something down here, only as a realistic status report about which things still need to be done (not necessarily by Darren himself) before we can consider it `ready to go'. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
