Hi all!
Let me thanks you all first, for the attention to this project.

The main reason was that firewall-config is GTK only, and a
requirement for Mageia is that new tools need to work across all
desktops and headless environments. Mageia *does* package
firewall-config, but it's not appealing to integrate when the primary
desktop is KDE Plasma (which is Qt5). I knew there were attempts in
the past to write a Qt5 version of the UI, so I hoped this would be
well-received as an alternative to firewall-config for those who
prefer a UI that fits in better with different desktops.
I also have friends who
still prefer remote connections to configure
server without GUI, so a TUI interface (I know they don't need it very
much perhaps, but hey is there for free! :D) would be of use and
appreciated. An example:
https://github.com/manatools/manafirewall/blob/master/screenshots/manafir...
Of course it isn't all easy since libyui has constraints to consider,
but writing the code once and working for three is great result i believe.
Another issue we're trying to get rid of is tui-polkit agent, atm all
the libyui-ncurses applications that use dbus, so no only manafirewall,
work only as root because of missing authentication dialog...
I usually try to answer as quick as possible to any requests, though my
daily job doesn't allow me to be full time connected as once, be
patience and ping me. Neal is always in #manatools freenode channel so
he can call me later if i'm not in too :)
Thank you
Angelo
