I noticed the tools moved from /usr/bin to /usr/sbin which broke the

RHEL4 as well as FC4?




Sorry, who changed this?  Upstream libselinux still installs the
utilities to /usr/bin (by default, unless you override the BINDIR
definition).





Yes they will stay in /usr/sbin. We changed the location, as I felt these tools were not to be used by non admins.
They will be there in all future versions of RHEL and FC.



So much for the stated policy of following upstream as much as possible.

If it is an important change why not get upstream to change it? It appears that every time someone outside of Red Hat wants a change the
standard answer is to get it changed upstream. Why is this different?
It is not like Fedora will stop working without it. :-)


I actually agree with the change, but I am just trying to understand
what the policy really is?


We screwed up, we should have sent the patch to upstream, but were rushing to get things
cleaned up and done before a RHEL 4 Freeze.
