RE: FWTK
I did package it for my own firewall, too. But I had some discussion
with TIS and wasn't able to persuade them to allow at least a
binary-only distribution. :-(
I thought about an installer package but never found the time. You could
ask the user to put the tar file in /tmp and then unpack, compile and
install it.
Did you include the java/javascript/activeX block patch? I think this is
an rather important addition.
