SRPM URL: http://jgu.fedorapeople.org/shorewall-shell-4.0.4-1.fc7.src.rpm
Description: 
The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as "Shorewall", is a
Netfilter (iptables) based firewall that can be used on a dedicated
firewall system, a multi-function gateway/ router/server or on a
standalone GNU/Linux system. 

The version 3 release series of Shorewall is already available in Fedora. With the release of version 4, upstream has added a new perl based rule compiler and completely changed the way the package is distributed. The shell-based and perl-based compilers are each distributed as individual tarballs, and files required to run shorewall with either compiler are packaged as a third tarball, shorewall-common. 

The shorewall-perl compilers is suggested for new
installed systems and shorewall-shell is provided for backwards
compatibility and smooth legacy system upgrades because shorewall perl
is not fully compatible with all legacy configurations.

This package contains the files comprising the legacy shell based compiler
