[Firehol-devs] New firehol development

[Phil Whineray]

Hi Costa and welcome back

The two projects are really the same fork - I started sanewall in
March 2012 after I was unable to contact you about adding the IPv6
patches I originally produced back in 2010.

For me that is still the main driver for sanewall and if we can get
IPv6 support into FireHOL then I don't have a strong desire to
maintain a separate project.

At the point I made the fork I started over and produced a sanewall
package then rebased all of the IPv6 work on top of that. The effect is
that this git repo should apply easily to FireHOL:
  git://github.com/mikemol/fireholv6.git

This one will not, but contains a variety of extra fixes:
  git://git.sanewall.org/sanewall.git

If you are able to take a look at the former and decide if the main
idea is OK for you, then I will do the work to rebase better patches
from the sanewall onto your repo, so you get up to date patches with
fixes to apply.

Kind Regards
Phil
