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 installed for testing purposes. After manually installing core 76 all existing firewall rules where gone because the will get overwritten in the update process.
This is a big problem on environments where the New Firewall is used productive or in case of an update from Beta 1 to another Beta or final Release.
I've successfully prepared and tested a patchset which will prevent the updater to overwrite the affected firewall config files.
The commit can be found here:

Please take a look on it and put the changes upstream so we can prevent other users from this issue.
Thanks in advance,
-Stefan
