FR: progress bars
Using the emerging-all, it takes a long time and I'm not sure how far along it is to judge the duration.
I should note, that part of the reason for this is I have other update scripts that are denied or vice versa due to the xtables lock.
Just confirming that you mean when fwsnort is building the ruleset into the kernel? I.e. instead of when fwsnort is translating emerging-all? Normally fwsnort builds an iptables-save file that should be fairly fast to instantiate which is why I'm asking.
Yes, you understood correctly. I did switch to the iptables-save method, but initially, i was concerned that it would clobber my fail2ban and custom rules coming from bash scripts. I've set it to run on boot with the iptables-save and so far, haven't noticed any glitches.
