Suggestions for some patch-o-matic extensions (comment, ipp2p, random, etc...)
In some extensions, I detected that before I apply patch-o-matic (last source package) without problems, i can compile kernel and kernel modules fine.
But when I try to compile iptables, i have a common error with some extensions:
error: near initialization for `<struct_name>.<struct_member>'
Some of these extensions are:
* comment
* ipp2p
* random (IPv6)
Thinking about it, I had applied successfully these extensions over 1.2.11 iptables version, but with 1.3.0, seems that some structure declaration has been changed and these modules don't compile without a manual user modification of the sources.
The "manual modification" should be an explicit member initialization in the struct, but some modules need more revision.
Here is the warning exposed.
Good Luck

I don't know how to use diff/patch utils to send you a patch to solve these issues, if anybody say me how to use them to create a valid patch file and send to the list.
I suppose that I need some rules over the file names and so on, say me and I post the patch.
I have the patched files too, but I don't know if I can send attached files to the list.

If you are going to patch kernel part.. uhm. if you are going to patch at all, please read Documentation/SubmittingPatches and CodingStyle.

Well, that should be the really _last_ thing you do. Prior to this, you should :
1. Post the complete errors you got
2. Manage to make some patches
Oh! Here's a good reading :

Well, I have 3 iptables extensions patched for the use with iptables 1.3.0.
libipt_comment.clibipt_ipp2p.clibip6t_random.cThey are compiling fine now (after I done some changes in the "struct
iptables_match" variable definition.The way to correct compile errors is revise the "struct
iptables_match" variable definition.
Please take a look at :
https://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter-devel/2005-February/018468.html
comment and ipp2p are done yet.
Patch for 6_random is, I guess, welcome.
