Yes, I have the sources package instaled - I need it to make relabel don't I? Since I upgrade through yum, and rawhide updates the sources package with the other one, I always update them together. However, the resulting files are not the same - file_contexts and file_contexts. rpmnew are different, and the binary policy differs too. > > Do I need to run make relabel? > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > It is generally safest to do so, but often unnecessary (only if there is > a relevant change to file_contexts that affects you). Relabeling is not > presently automatically performed upon a policy update. Are there plans to change that?
