security/ipfmeta 1.3_2 DragonFly

ipfmeta is used to simplify the maintenance of your IPfilter ruleset. It does this through the use of 'objects'. A matching object gets replaced by its values at runtime. This is similar to what a macro processor like m4 does.

ipfmeta is specifically geared towards IPfilter. It is line oriented: if an object has multiple values, the line with the object is duplicated and substituted for each value. It is also recursive: an object may have another object as a value.
