Xtables-addons is the successor to patch-o-matic(-ng). Likewise, it contains extensions that were not, or are not yet, accepted in the main kernel/iptables packages.
Xtables-addons is different from patch-o-matic in that you do
not have to patch or recompile the kernel, sometimes recompiling iptables is
also not needed. But please see the INSTALL
file for the minimum requirements of this package.
(The name stems from Xtables, which is the protocol-agnostic code part of the table-based firewalling schema.)
patch-o-matic suffered from a number of problems:
Some distributions have precompiled packages (varying age of version). Among those are: Alpine Linux, CRUX, Debian, Gentoo, PLD Linux, openSUSE, openWRT, Shorewall, Slackware, and possibly more.
Send anything Xtables-addons related to the
netfilter-devel list that is handled through vger.kernel.org or
various alternate services, such as Gmane.
Alternatively, you can try in
irc.freenode.net's #netfilter channel; but the
mailing list is a place where things do not go unseen as easily.
