Is there a chance that we will see FWBuilder (http://www.fwbuilder.org/) included in an upcomming OpenSuse release?
see packman. packman is part of this community too.
Mh - I'm one of these "buy it on DVD"-guys. I like to buy the packaged distribution, install it on a system and give it to a customer - with the distribution DVD. For a customer this gives the relaxing picture of a solid product that he maybe doesn't really understand, but at least he can touch it (in this case he can touch the DVD). For sure I update the system via online update - but that is something known to a customer. All his windows PC's do the same. You call packman part of the community but it adds another source for software which you have to trust and for which you have to nothing to touch. All I install from "other" sources is something that I have to additionally explain - in this case: "When it is that good - why it isn't part of the distribution? There are thousands of packages which are not that good in it - there must be something wrong with this package ..." FWBuilder is a solution whenever SuSEFirewall2 is totally swamped, it is easy to use and powerfull. It is one of these nice things where a customer can see colorfull icons and which is usefull anyway. It simply makes live easier. I think it would be a good thing to have for OpenSuse in the regular distribution. It doesn't need to be integrated into yast. This would be nice - ok. But not needed. It just should be part OpenSuse. Regards Ralf
