GNAP is a Gentoo-based Network Appliance building system. It allows to |
| 2 |
build LiveCDs or bootable disks with a customized network appliance |
| 3 |
configuration in seconds. This is especially useful to quickly install |
| 4 |
Gentoo on small-CPU hosts to use them as routers, firewalls, VPN boxen... |

| 10 |
|
| 11 |
* GNAP 1.8 was suffering from network start problems (bug #102247) |
| 12 |
* Wrong permissions on the GNAP system root directory were preventing |
| 13 |
users other than root from doing anything (bug #103463) |
| 14 |
* An error in the GNAP 1.8 ebuild was installing the root_overlay specs |
| 15 |
subdirectory contents without preserving permissions (bug #102985) |
| 16 |
* Extensions were not preserving file ownership and permissions, |
| 17 |
resulting in failure to operate in some cases (bug #103004) |
| 18 |
* 20050829 portage snapshot compatibility, including openVPN DoS fixes |
| 19 |
