1 ipset 6.x, 5.x upgrade notices
3 - From ipset 5.0-5.3 to 5.4 or above:
5 Due to the source code reorganization, some macros were moved to
6 the netlink.patch. Therefore when upgrading, you have two choices:
8 a. force the application of the new netlink.patch
10 kernel-source-dir # patch -p1 -f < ipset-curr-dir/netlink.patch
12 b. remove the earlier netlink.patch and apply the new one:
14 kernel-source-dir # patch -p1 -R < ipset-before-5.4-dir/netlink.patch
15 kernel-source-dir # patch -p1 < ipset-curr-dir/netlink.patch
17 You do not need to recompile your kernel.
19 Of course the kernel modules in ipset must be compiled and installed.
