Xtables-addons
==============
Xtables-addons is the proclaimed successor to patch-o-matic(-ng). It
contains extensions that were not accepted in the main Xtables
package.
Xtables-addons is different from patch-o-matic in that you do not have
to patch or recompile either kernel or Xtables(iptables). But please
see the INSTALL file for the minimum requirements of this package.
External extensions
===================
The program "xa-download-more" can be used to download more extensions
from 3rd parties into the source tree. The URLs are listed in the
"sources" file. If the "sources" file contains an entry like
http://foobar.org/xa/
xa-download-more will inspect http://foobar.org/xa/xa-index.txt for files
to download. That file may contain
foobar.tar.bz2
and xa-download-more will then retrieve and unpack
http://foobar.org/xa/foobar.tar.bz2.
Files that should be contained in the tarball are an mconfig and Kbuild
files to control building the extension, libxt_foobar.c for the userspace
extension and xt_foobar.c for the kernel extension.
mconfig.foobar
extensions/Kbuild.foobar
extensions/libxt_foobar.c
extensions/libxt_foobar.man
extensions/xt_foobar.c
extensions/xt_foobar.h
