Who's using ufw?

I made a gufw tgz package by hacking through the deb archive from http://gufw.tuxfamily.org. Grab it: (link) and test it.

... Ubuntu / Canonical developers & users https://launchpad.net/ufw
Thanks for your effort to port it to Salix.

who's using ufw in Salix, I mean.
So they can test the package. If it works, I'll submit it for inclusion in the Salix repo. It's because my package install all the code in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gufw while the original .deb package installs the same stuff in /usr/share/gufw (a strange location for executable files). It ran, but as I don't have ufw installed (yet) I'm a little unsure if the firewall will work or not. I had to 'trust' the code.

By the way, does anybody know why Gufw is distributed only as a .deb package?

/usr/share/<name> is a good place to store platform-independent stuff like as there is often with python or java or other framework related languages.
/usr/lib/site-packages and /usr/lib64/site-packages is somehow strange but due to the fact that there is a rule to difference between 32 bits and 64 bits libraries and similiar things that are considered as "pseudo libraries".

Ask Canonical, launchpad belongs to this company.
Use maybe the alien tool to convert deb into tgz.

Well, ufw install all python code in /usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages/ufw. Why shouldn't Gufw follow the same logic?

And yes, ufw + gufw is working, iptables -L showed me the "magic". Now all that's left for me to do is a rc.ufw script.

Any suggestions?
