Hi all,

Hopefully a very quick question - is YAML usable for awall rules in Alpine
3.7?  I've tried and get an error:

------------------------------->8---------------------------------------

/usr/local/share/lua/5.2/awall/policy.lua:128: module 'lyaml' not found:

I've installed the lua yaml packages.Searching the Alpine packages website
for lyaml.lua or */lyaml/* yields nothing useful.

Kind regards,

Hi,

A little bit of self-help has worked I think.

It seems that line 116 of /usr/share/lua/5.2/awall/policy.lua has:

yaml = { mod="lyaml", func="load" },


After changing it to:

yaml = { mod="yaml", func="load" },


everything works as expected.  Whether that change has any
side-effects is beyond my understanding of Awall, but it seems to do
the trick.


I've raised bug 8874 for this - https://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/8874


Kind regards,


Gareth
