[gentoo-user] "net-firewall/xtables-addons" issues

[Pandu Poluan]

Okay, after compiling hardened-sources-3.2.2-r1, I follow through with
remerging net-firewall/xtables-addons-1.39 ...

... and it failed with an error, about unknown symbol or something.

A Google search led me to this solution:

http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/8ef017a863038724?pli=1

Although the attached patch in that thread *seems* to be meant for
xtables-addons-1.40 (not in portage yet), I tried applying the patches
to xtables-addons-1.39 ...

... and it worked!

However, a quick glance at upstream [1] indicates that upstream is
already at version 1.41!!

So...

1. Should I file a bugreport for xtables-addons-1.39?

2. Or should I request for xtables-addons-1.41 in the portage tree?
