Hello *,
some rather important packages within IPFire 2.x are in need of being updated:
- Strongswan 5.9.0
- Postfix 3.5.7
- libnetfilter_queue 1.0.5
- iptables 1.8.5
- libnetfilter_conntrack 1.0.8
- conntrack-tools 1.4.6
Why are all these urgent updates?
I could not find any security-related issues in those packages and we are mostly one version behind. Strongswan was just released days ago and interesting features for us have been added.
Since IPFire 2.x currently refuses to build on my workstation ("kernel too old", running OpenSuSE Leap 15.1), I cannot take care of those until I found some spare time to undergo a distribution upgrade, which probably does not happen before mid-September.
Yes, since we rebased the toolchain we require kernel 4.14:
https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=blob;f=lfs/glibc;h=802c372a904bf2...
I changed it so that our version of glibc does not ship any old compatibility stuff that we do not need because IPFire itself is on 4.14 for years and as far as I knew any major distribution is on a more recent release.
Is this a common thing now and we need to downgrade? Any reason why you are not on the latest release of OpenSUSE Leap? 15.2 is out for some now.
Is somebody else currently in luxury of being capable to build IPFire 2.x?
LOL Luxury
If yes, might I ask that person to have a look at those packages, so we can ship them in Core Update 150? :-)
1001 thanks in advance.
Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
