[gentoo-dev] iptables and libiptc

[Joachim Stahl]

Hi list,

i'm currently developing a C-program that needs to use libiptc to modify 
netfilter tables. Unfortunately this library isn't included in the 
iptables package as it should be. Is this a reasonable behavior or just 
a simple bug? I really need this library and would like to make use of 
the gentoo package instead of installing iptables including patches by 
hand. Any ideas?

Hi Jo,
	It appears that bug 177978 answers your question.  Apparently libiptc
wasn't meant to be a public interface and is intended to be removed from
the iptables pacakge[2].  Hope this helps answer your question.  Please
do have a good hunt through bugzilla when you've got a question, it's
got a huge wealth of information stored in there in both open and closed
bugs...  5:)
	Mike  5:)
