I'm not very worried about the lag. Just consider > stable still runs 2.2.3 > I just emailed Lorenzo Martignoni, the Debian shorewall maintainer, to offer my help in getting the 3.2 version packaged up so that it can ship with Etch. I also use shorewall on all my machines and think it is great. Due to some bugs and other configuration issues, specifically with virtual networking/bridging in relation to Xen, I had to update to version 3.0.6 before it was in Debian. When 3.0.7 was uploaded into Debian, I immediately downloaded the packages and was quite happy that it had made it in. I really would like to see the most up to date shorewall in Debian. If anyone is able to test the packages and is willing to help, that may speed the process. I will report back once I hear from Lorenzo.
