README for firewalld
====================
firewalld provides a dynamically managed firewall with support for network or
firewall zones to define the trust level of network connections or interfaces.
It has support for IPv4, IPv6 firewall settings and for ethernet bridges and a
separation of runtime and permanent configuration options. It also provides an
interface for services or applications to add ip*tables and ebtables rules
directly.
Development
-----------
To check out the source repository, you can use:
git clone https://github.com/firewalld/firewalld.git
This will create a local copy of the repository.
Language Translations
---------------------
Firewalld uses GNU gettext for localization support. Translations can be done
using Fedora's Weblate instance [1]. Translations are periodically merged into
the main firewalld repository.

Working With The Source Repository
----------------------------------
You can use the source repository directly to test out changes. Change into the
firewalld base directory and set the following environment variables.
export FIREWALLD_DEVEL_ENV=$(pwd)/src
export PYTHONPATH=$FIREWALLD_DEVEL_ENV
Install the following requirements or packages:
desktop-file-utils: /usr/bin/desktop-file-install
gettext
intltool
glib2: /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas
glib2-devel: /usr/share/aclocal/gsettings.m4
systemd-units
iptables
ebtables
ipset
nftables
For use with Python 3:
python3-dbus
python3-slip-dbus
python3-decorator
python3-gobject
For use with Python 2:
dbus-python
python-slip-dbus (http://fedorahosted.org/python-slip)
python-decorator
pygobject3-base (non-cairo parts of pygobject3)
To be able to create man pages and documentation from docbook files:
docbook-style-xsl
Use
./autogen.sh
in the base directory to create for example src/firewall/config/__init__.py
Use
make
to create the documentation and to update the po files.
Use
make check
to run the testsuite. This assumes full control of the host and also requires
the host's firewalld to be stopped.
RPM package
-----------
For Fedora and RHEL based distributions, there is a spec file in the source
repo named firewalld.spec. This should be usable for Fedora versions >= 16 and
RHEL >= 7.
