Hi folks

this is to announce the first public release of Retfilter, a DSL  
interface to iptable commands.

Although this code is used in production be warned please if you want  
to use it, it is badly documented and the code is very, very bloated.

We use it only by means of studying the produced iptable output _very_  
carefully and adding it into test/testcases once it is approved.

The basic purpose of this release is to share the code with some  
people who are interested in it. Maybe it will become nice one day…

If you are interested in working with this code or even in seriously  
using it please contact me OL, I am happy to share some more  
information about it which is unfortunately not yet available as  
documentation ☹

Enjoy
