I think that since ipset is now in the mainline kernel having it packaged on its own is worthwhile. Also given that the goal of the xtables-addons project is to provide "extensions that were not, or are not yet, accepted in the main kernel/iptables packages" and clearly ipset is now part of the mainline kernel this packaging is appropriate. There is still a place for xtables-addons, as it does provide modules that are not in the kernel mainline that some people may want to use. Personally I have been perplexed by this whole ipset vs. xtables investment in this thread. The reality is that for a long time the ipset tool (and now the supporting library) have needed to be updated within Debian. I know that this packaging is not the first (my own only being delayed by me trying to provide dkms support for older kernels and the extreme lack of documentation on DKMS). One of these packaging attempts deserves a sponsor and inclusion in the mainline of our distribution. -- Nikolai Lusan <nikolai@lusan.id.au>
