I've started maintaining the genkernel kernel configs pretty much |
| 15 |
exclusively. I see no problem with iptables support being added. The |
| 16 |
best would be if you attached a patch against the current configs, as it |
| 17 |
would be easier on me, as I actually have to apply them to two places |
| 18 |
(genkernel SVN, and releng kconfigs for 2007.0) for the next release. |
| 19 |
The main change is that (for at least x86/amd64) we're trying to make |
| 20 |
the default kernel, which is also used on the LiveCD, as generic as |
| 21 |
possible and as feature filled as possible. |
