Trying to get the description for a zone using firewall-cmd exits with status code 1, and prints an error message: ↪ sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --get-description Traceback (most recent call last): File "/bin/firewall-cmd", line 1783, in <module> cmd.print_and_exit(settings.getDescription()) NameError: name 'settings' is not defined The syntax for this command matches the example given in the man page, so this is either a bug in firewall-cmd, or in the way it's packaged. Right? The equivalent command using the newer CLI utility (`sudo firewallctl zone public get description`) works as it should, however. I'm testing with firewalld 0.4.3.3, both on Fedora 24 Cloud Base and Fedora 24 Workstation. (Fedora Cloud is a guest in virt-manager 1.4.0 on my host Fedora Workstation desktop.)
Fixed upstream: https://github.com/t-woerner/firewalld/commit/b67a186b32f832656eefb604b9460f1df5c37a56
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Oh, I probably could have closed this a long time ago :)
