The reason why that work has been done is because everyone kicked up a stink about anaconda using too much memory, so the anaconda team looked closer into what was taking up so much memory, found out selinux policy installation caused quite a significant chunk of it, and told Dan about it. None of this is news to anyone actually involved in the relevant development teams =) this topic has really been done to death on this list and many others. anaconda team is aware of the memory use issue and is working on fixing it. this selinux change is one of the fixes. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
