[Voyage-linux] Additional packages for IPset support in 0.8.0

[Nathan Hulse]

Hello there,

I'd been using IPset on voyage with a custom kernel and the userspace
utility from Squeeze until I noted that support had been added in 0.8.0. I
hastily upgrade to find that the ver. 6.x ipset module in the newer kernels
is not backwards compatible with the old ver. 2.5 userspace tool in
Squeeze. Builidng the new tool was hampered by the fact that the kernel
headers for 3.0.0-voyage are broken (missing Makefile_32.cpu), but I
managed to build a working package against kernel 2.6.38-voyage instead. I
then discovered that IPset support in 3.0.0-voyage kernel is incomplete due
to the 'set' match not being enabled, so kernel recompilation was also
required... I really wish I had tested 0.8.0 in virtual machine before
upgrading my ALIX box at home!

Anyway, the long and short of the matter is that I now have i386 .deb
packages providing a fixed kernel, ipset and its libmnl dependency
(backported from wheezy). I also made some OCF patched OpenSSL packages
whilst I was at it. If anyone would like me to make this stuff publicly
available, let me know.

Regards,

Nathan
