   Bug#1128337: RM: pyroman -- ROM; Largely   
   18 Feb 26 15:10:01   
   
   From: erich@debian.org   
      
   Package: ftp.debian.org   
   Severity: normal   
   X-Debbugs-Cc: pyroman@packages.debian.org   
   Control: affects -1 + src:pyroman   
   User: ftp.debian.org@packages.debian.org   
   Usertags: remove   
      
   In my opinion (as the author of pyroman) the package is largely obsolete by   
   now.   
      
   Development of pyroman is pretty much dead, also because my primary use   
   case (a   
   custom firewall that would manage several zones, DMZ, VPN etc.) is no longer   
   under my administration for a few years already.   
      
   The linux kernel routing has evolved beyond iptables (i.e., nftables),   
   and in   
   many cases I would now recommend to directly write such tables without a   
   meta   
   tool like pyroman. In fact, I recently moved to handle my own firewalls this   
   way entirely.   
      
   As a transition solution, pyroman can export the rules to iptables,   
   which can   
   be imported by iptables-load (which is used by pyroman internally anyway).   
      
   Popcon only lists 12 installations:
