#### Noto color emoji / X Error of failed request:  BadLength

That's a [bug in libxft/tkinter](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/merge_requests/1)
in recent distros. Either uninstall all color emoji fonts, or upgrade
[tcl+tkinter(...) to 8.6.11](https://packages.debian.org/sid/tk). But since
that will take some time to make its rounds, any colored glyphs have been
removed in modseccfg 0.8 anyway. (Was largely decoration for menus and
buttons anyhow.)

Requires py >=3.6

### Will this work with mod_security v3 ?

Probably not. I'd imagine this to be a parsing nightmare for Apache
as well. So if, it's probably just going to cover secrule_includes,
and you'll have to have vhost.name.secrule files alongside.

### Install packages as rpm?

Nobody asked for those yet. You can convert installable packages with
[`alien --to-rpm modsec-flameeyes_2020.06.13_all.deb`](https://wiki.debian.org/Alien)
however. Use `locate modseccfg/install` to find the package directory.
