Subject: [PATCH v5 17/18] pesto, conf: Send updated rules from pesto back to passt/pasta
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:25:15 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421062516.2601204-18-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260421062516.2601204-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

Extend pesto to send the updated rule configuration back to passt/pasta.
Extend passt/pasta to read the new configuration and store the new rules in
a "pending" table.   We don't yet attempt to activate them.
