take.

@jackiehjm
iptables-services contains the systemd related files only
iptables pkg has been included in ./recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-stak-base.bbappend,

Is this pkg only needed to meet the requirement or being used directly which make this porting a MUST? Is it possible to substitute systemd style with what we have now?

[jackiehjm]

@gaolitao I'm not sure abut this yet, I see that in centos build185, there are tow pkgs:
[newadmin@controller-1 ~]$ rpm -qa|grep iptables
iptables-services-1.4.21-28.el7.x86_64
iptables-1.4.21-28.el7.x86_64

The first provides systemd service files and the second one provides binaries.

In yocto, we only have the iptables pkg that provides binaries only:

root@controller-1:~# rpm -ql iptables-1.6.2-r0.corei7_64
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/iptables-xml
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/libip4tc.so.0
/usr/lib/libip4tc.so.0.1.0
/usr/lib/libip6tc.so.0
/usr/lib/libip6tc.so.0.1.0
/usr/lib/libiptc.so.0
/usr/lib/libiptc.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libxtables.so.12
/usr/lib/libxtables.so.12.0.0
/usr/sbin
/usr/sbin/ip6tables
/usr/sbin/ip6tables-restore
/usr/sbin/ip6tables-save
/usr/sbin/iptables
/usr/sbin/iptables-restore
/usr/sbin/iptables-save
/usr/sbin/xtables-multi

And I found that the ansible module 'iptables' is used in some of the playbooks, I'm not sure if the services are a MUST for the ansible module, we may need to investigate.
