The lines flagged with <====== show that the Shorewall-perl package has been updated to include two bug fixes (note the "-2" and ".2" in the file names). The base tarballs for the release are found in the base directory. The unified diff files patch-4.0.6.* may be applied sequentially to the base (4.0.6) Shorewall-perl release (from the base directory) to produce 4.0.6.2. The obsoleted 4.0.6 Shorewall-perl packages may be found in the superseded directory. The known_problems.txt file indicates which problems are fixed in each updated package.

SVN

You should download and use the latest SVN version only at your own risk -- please do not attempt to install Shorewall from the SVN components; you will end up with an incomplete and non-working installation.

If you want to build your own packages from the SVN images, use the build script found in tools/build/buildshorewall.
