</H2>

<P>Netfilter core-team always welcome new extensions/bug-fixes. In this section we will not focus
on how to package a new extension to ease its inclusion into patch-o-matic yet. But this might
come in a future version of this HOWTO.</P>

<P>First of all, you should be familiar with the
<A HREF="http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO/netfilter-hacking-HOWTO.html">Netfilter Hacking HOWTO</A>.</P>

<P>Rusty has already written a guideline on how to make new patches for netfilter,
it's in :</P>
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
/path/to/netfiltercvs/netfilter/patch-o-matic/NEWPATCHES
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</P>

<P>Or read the latest version online at :
<A HREF="http://cvs.netfilter.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/netfilter/patch-o-matic/NEWPATCHES">NEWPATCHES</A>.</P>

<P>Finally, it's a good idea to subscribe to netfilter-devel mailing list.
More info on how to subscribe can be found on the netfilter homepage.</P>

<H2><A NAME="ss9.2">9.2</A> <A HREF="netfilter-extensions-HOWTO.html#toc9.2">Contributing to this HOWTO</A>
</H2>

<P>You are mostly welcome to update this HOWTO. To do so, the preferred way
is to send a patch of the SGML master of this document to the
netfilter-devel mailing list.</P>

<P>Thanks for your help! Thanks to the developers who contributed the
netfilter-extensions-HOWTO parts related to their patches.</P>
