Description Phil Sutter 2023-05-30 12:21:12 UTC
The current iptables-1.8.4-24.el8 contains 78 distinct backports from upstream.
A caching issue reported in bug 2190094 required an additional 29 backports to
resolve, mainly a cache-related refactoring which went into upstream's v1.8.5
release. The risk and testing overhead involved with backporting these commits
out of order makes up for that of a rebase, so we'll do the latter instead:

Rebase onto v1.8.5 plus the fixes upstream identified using 'Fixes:' tag and
all of the previous 78 backports not already present. To reduce merge
conflicts, sort them by commit date.

Comment 1 Phil Sutter 2023-05-30 12:36:15 UTC
Use the opportunity for a bit of spec file cleanup:

* Drop the bootstrap code needed when libiptc SONAME bumped in RHEL8.2
* Eliminate a duplicate file warning caused by overlapping globbing in %files
