+xtables-addons (additions for iptables/xtables)
+
+Xtables-addons is the proclaimed successor to patch-o-matic(-ng).
+It contains extensions that are not in the main Xtables package,
+including TARPIT and SYSRQ.
+
+This package builds some kernel modules, so it will need to be
+rebuilt any time you change kernels.
+
+Don't write to the maintainer asking for this to be updated;
+version 1.12 is the last version that will build on Slackware 12.2
+due to the version of iptables (1.4.2) that it shipped.
