Hi, [TL;DR: please test the package]
the latests upstream version of iptables (1.6.0) just landed in unstable. It should be in debian testing in a few days, no blocks are expected. This is a major release of iptables, last one was in 2013. Among other things, this release includes the 'iptables-nftables-compat' binary package which contains some tools to help in the transition from iptables to nftables. However, users are not expected to migrate from iptables to nftables right now. This mail is about requesting review and testing of the bare iptables tools (iptables, ip6tables, and the like). We would like to avoid to the maximum extend corner case regressions and problems of any kind. In the past, people found issues when migrating from older kernels to newer ones. There are mainly 2 kind of people who might be really interested in this review&testing: * maintainers of iptables-based packages (i.e, wrappers) * users of iptables (i.e, firewalls) Please file bugs as needed. Thanks, best regards. -- Arturo Borrero González
