Shorewall YUM repository

Shorewal or Shoreline Firewall is is high-level tool for configuring Netfilter.

Even RPM packages are available from long time on most YUM repositories only older versions could be found.
That is the reason I’ve decided to create this repository.

What you will find:
– Shorewall RPMs (starting from version 4.5.21) – If there is public interest I can pull older ones.

How to setup?
Create new repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d

Copy and paste the code
cat shorewall.repo
### Name: Shorewall RPM Repository sysadminguide.net
