Hi all,

NOTE: This is _not_ a request/headsup to nuke ipfw; I don't want to
discuss nuking ipfw in this thread.

Ipfw will be switched from ipfw1 to ipfw2 after two weeks on HEAD.
HEAD ipfw users, please apply following patch and test:
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~sephe/ipfw2.diff

You need to make buildkernel and buildworld!!

Ipfw2 rule syntax is compat with ipfw1, so this move should not cause
too much trouble with any existing ipfw configuration.

BTW, 1.10 RELEASE ipfw users are also encouraged to switch from ipfw1
to ipfw2 by putting IPFW2 in /etc/make.conf and options IPFW2 in
kernel configure file.

Best Regards,
sephe
