Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: "Neutron Soutmun" <neo.neutron@gmail.com> * Package name : ipset Version : 6.11 Upstream Author : Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu> * URL : http://ipset.netfilter.org/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : administration tool for kernel IP sets IP sets are a framework inside the Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernel which can be administered by the ipset(8) utility. Depending on the type, currently an IP set may store IP addresses, (TCP/UDP) port numbers or IP addresses with MAC addresses in a way which ensures lightning speed when matching an entry against a set. If you want to * store multiple IP addresses or port numbers and match against the entire collection using a single iptables rule. * dynamically update iptables rules against IP addresses or ports without performance penalty. * express complex IP address and ports based rulesets with a single iptables rule and benefit from the speed of IP sets. then IP sets may be the proper tool for you. Note: As the package ipset has been removed from the Debian archive unstable with the reason as decribed in http://bugs.debian.org/651790 which "the ipset fails to build against current kernel; no response from maintainer". But it's not a problem now as the ipset already included in the recent kernel , kernel 3.1 in wheezy/sid and also the 3.2 in experimental are fine, no needs to build any modules. Therefore, I intend to package and has already started (based on the latest ipset package that was removed and more updates). The package could be uploaded soon.
