Continuing previous article about Building xtables-addons1-1.24 RPM Package, Now added feature which allow us to build the package with options
for example:

$ rpmbuild -ta xtables-addons-1.24.tar.bz2 --with ACCOUNT --with ipset --with geoip

With this command, only ACCOUNT,ipset,geoip modules would be built, other xtables-addons modules are not built(discarded)

Availble options:

--with ACCOUNT
--with CHAOS
--with DELUDE
--with DHCPMAC
--with ECHO
--with IPMARK
--with LOGMARK
--with RAWNAT
--with STEAL
--with SYSRQ
--with TARPIT
--with TEE
--with condition
--with fuzzy
--with geoip
--with iface
--with ipp2p
--with ipset
--with ipv4options
--with length2
--with lscan
--with pknock
--with psd
--with quota2
