Re: [bitfolk] ipset, iphash and Bitfolk kernels

Hello Gerald, On 27/12/12 23:05, Gerald Davies wrote: [snip] Just to add the results of my bumblings - I am running the 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-686-pae successfully on my one VPS. Unfortunately the stock ipset (2.5.0) is not supported by this kernel, so if you want to stick with this version of ipset, you will have to modify the stock kernel somehow. I did not want to go through all that pain, so I decided to stick with the 3.2.0 kernel from squeeze-backports. The next gotcha is that ipset 6.11/6.12 has not been backported to Squeeze yet, which means you will have to roll your own. This is much less of an issue, since all you will have to do is to compile ipset (and a few dependencies), which is a far less weighty issue than building a kernel on your VPS. I found that the only dependency needed by ipset is libmnl, which is of course also not backported. So I did the (un)professional thing and installed the two packages from source, and ipset seems to work fine. PS: I did try to build debs, but at 02:20 in the morning it's probably fair to say sleep is a bit more important than trying to do my own backports... ;-) -- Regards, Jan Henkins
