The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as "Shorewall", is a
Netfilter (iptables) based firewall that can be used on a dedicated
firewall system, a multi-function gateway/ router/server or on a
standalone GNU/Linux system. 

The version 3 release series of Shorewall is already available in Fedora. With the release of version 4, upstream has added a new perl based rule compiler and completely changed the way the package is distributed. The shell-based and perl-based compilers are each distributed as individual tarballs, and files required to run shorewall with either compiler are packaged as a third tarball, shorewall-common. Version 3 however comprised only a single tarball, and so only a single package is required.

In order to provide a clean upgrade route, shorewall-common creates a shorewall subpackage which requires shorewall-common, shorewall-perl and shorewall-shell.

This is a tracking bug for the reviews of the other packages comprising version 4 of shorewall:

shorewall-common review is BZ #321691
shorewall-perl review is BZ #321711
shorewall-shell review is BZ #321721

There is also shorewall-lite, a light-weight Shorewall version that will run compiled firewall scripts generated on a system with one of the compiler packages installed - I'll package this up in the near future.
