<p>In Shorewall version <span style="font-weight: bold;">4.4.*</span>,
|

the Shorewall-common, Shorewall-shell and
|

Shorewall-perl packages are discontinued and replaced with a single <span
|
||||
style="font-weight: bold;">Shorewall</span> package which combines the
|
||||
functions of Shorewall-common and Shorewall-perl. The shell-based
|
||||
compiler is retired. So with Shorewall 4.4 onward, there are four
|
||||
packages:<br>

</p>
|

<ul>
|

<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shorewall </span>-- Includes

everything needed to create an IPv4 firewall.</li>

the Shorewall package and adds the capability to create an IPv6

firewall.</li>
|

<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shorewall-lite</span> -- a

light-weight Shorewall version that will run

compiler packages installed.</li>

<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shorewall6-lite</span> -- a

light-weight Shorewall6 version that will

<p>In Shorewall version <span style="font-weight: bold;">4.2.*</span>,

there are six packages:<br>

<ul>

<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shorewall-shell</span> -- the

legacy Shorewall configuration compiler
|

written in Bourne Shell. Not recommended for new installations.<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shorewall-perl</span> -- an
|
||||
implementation of the Shorewall
|
||||
configuration compiler written in the Perl programming language. This
|
||||
compiler is much faster than Shorewall-shell and produces a firewall
|
||||
script that runs faster. It is the preferred compiler for new Shorewall
|
||||
installations.</li>
|
||||
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shorewall-common</span> -- A

base package required by both

Shorewall-shell and Shorewall-perl.</li>
