Went pretty smoothly for me following the upgrade guide. I have a |
22 |
gentoo based iptables firewall with a fairly complicated network setup |
23 |
with postup() functions. I made the mistake of taking out the BASH |
24 |
syntax (the surrounding parens, etc) on my postup() function based on |
25 |
the guide, wondering if it'd work or not, and sure enough it wanted the |
26 |
old BASH style syntax for those functions, but the new style (w/o |
27 |
parens, and quoted blocks with CRs) on the "normal" sections. |

They should probably make a note of this in the config guide. |

It's good to see they added in support for iproute2 rules natively |
32 |
instead of requiring a postup() function. I'd like to see them add a |
33 |
similar functionality for adding static ARP entries too (right now using |
34 |
my own postup() for that). |
