Hi debian-i18n, recently arno-iptables-firewall was uploaded to the Debian archive for the first time. This is a package that aims to provide a very easy firewall setup for a wide range of common network configurations. http://packages.debian.org/arno-iptables-firewall The intended audience are people that don't want to dig into the details of iptables and at the same time don't want to use a heavy-weight machinery (e.g. fwbuilder). To achieve this goal, I added some Debconf stuff to the package, that configures the firewall by asking a few questions about the setup. Unfortunately my inital version of the templates was not very well made. I had to improved them, after recieving some valuable comments (see Bug #360579). The new templates are now available from here: http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de/~hanke/i18n/arno-iptables-firewall I would be glad if they could be translated into many languages, because I think that easyness starts with reading in ones own native language. There are also some PO-files of the previous version of the templates. Additionally I would also appreciate any advice on the English version of the templates (as I'm far from beeing a native speaker, as you'll see). I tried to keep the questions as simple as possible, but they are not optimal yet. Thanks in advance.
