[ANNOUNCE] New netfilter/iptables patch-o-matic release
Good news, Everyone! (TM)

The netfilter core team announces a new release of the netfilter
patch-o-matic suite:

patch-o-matic-20030107

This release contains the most up-to-date bugfixes and new features for
the netfilter/iptables subsystem of the 2.4.x Linux kernel.

The patches are devided into several repositories. Which ones are to be
used, depends on how conservative or adventurous the user is ;)

'submitted':
Patches which have been submitted for kernel inclusion, most of
them have already appeared in 2.4.20. It's really recommended
to always apply those

'pending':
Patches currently pending for kernel inclusion. They will
almost certainly appear in the next official kernel release.

'base':
New features which are self-contained enough so it's sure they
don't clash with each other. Those are safe in the way that they
don't harm already existing functionality. Playing with them
might discover one or the other remaining bug... you've been
warned.

'extra':
New features which might cause other patches from 'extra' to
clash with each other. Most interestingly, you will find here
conntrack/nat helpers for H.323, PPTP, talk/ntalk, rsh, tftp,
mms and amanda.
