1.8.11-2 is already in Arch Stable now, but somehow hasn’t made it into Manjaro Unstable yet.

@Yochanan?

Are you sure?

Not sure why there’s a discrepancy…

yes, mbn (as pacman) use the first repo found and after ignore if same package name. Online tool override (not ignore), or repo order is not good ? TODO open issue ? @cfinnberg

a few days ago, I made a personal fork at mbn (ignore also second entry)

Package: iptables-nft (core repository)

Utility: This package provides iptables, ip6tables, arptables, and ebtables using the nftables backend. Essentially, it's a compatibility layer that allows you to use the familiar iptables commands and syntax while leveraging the more modern and efficient nftables framework in the background. This allows for a smoother transition from iptables to nftables.

Iptables itself is not a direct application but a command-line utility for configuring the Linux kernel's built-in firewall, netfilter.  It provides a powerful and flexible way to manage network traffic by defining rules to allow, deny, or modify packets based on various criteria such as source/destination IP address, port, protocol, and more.  It's a fundamental tool for network security and routing on Linux systems, now implemented with nftables as the backend.

iptables-nft is found on two different repos: core and extra, what is wrong as far as I understand. It should be only in one of those.

The package is in Arch’s core repo, so I think the newer version should be moved from extra to core (and delete the older one ofc).

Edit: And yes, my web application was not prepared to find the same package on two different repos of the same branch.
