Dear Mailinglist followers,

I've doing some Pre-Beta tests of Core Update 76 on my testing system.

It has been a basic IPFire 2.13 Core 75 system with the New Firewall=20
installed for testing purposes. After manually installing core 76 all=20
existing firewall rules where gone because the will get overwritten in=20
the update process.

This is a big problem on environments where the New Firewall is used=20
productive or in case of an update from Beta 1 to another Beta or final=20
Release.

I've successfully prepared and tested a patchset which will prevent the=20
updater to overwrite the affected firewall config files.

The commit can be found here:

cbbc18f604b39305a84d238d13988b9a78

Please take a look on it and put the changes upstream so we can prevent=20
other users from this issue.

Thanks in advance,

-Stefan
