#3201: Shorewall Make Depencencies Missing
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  anonymous  |       Owner:  developers

 Priority:  normal     |   Milestone:  Kamikaze                                                       
Component:  packages   |    Keywords:  Shorewall Shorewall-lite, iptables-mod-extra, iptables-mod-ulog
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 I think that there is a dependency missing from shorewall-lite in svn
 HEAD.
 According to http://www.shorewall.net/kernel.htm
 the minimal requirements include "CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_LOG=m" which is
 provided by iptables-mod-extra.
 This dependency is missing from the other shorewall package combinations
 as well.
 They all directly or indirectly depend on PACKAGE_iptables, but not the
 mod-extra package.

 Further research indicates that ULOG or NFLOG can substitute the LOG
 target of mod-extra.
 That is to say that mod-ulog would satisfy the logging requirement of the
 shorewall packages.
 See http://www.shorewall.net/shorewall_logging.html


 I don't know that NFLOG is selected by any of the current kernel/iptables
 modules
 But from inspection of include/netfilter.mk, NFLOG is not selected by any
 modules, thus we only need to create a dependency on iptables-mod-extra or
 iptables-mod-ulog, unless someone wants to add a NFLOG package.
