Hello,
Due to an SELinux bug I reported in August, I've been tyring to
understand the selinux-policy packages to see how they're built. I
understand the principle of taking the upstream refpolicy, modifying it
and building the Fedora-specific packages. However, I'm struggling to
see where the refpolicy is coming from.
For example, as I write this, the latest FC6 selinux-policy package
pushed to the repositories is 2.4.6-1. According to the "sources" file
in CVS, this package is built using serefpolicy-2.4.6.tgz. If I get
serefpolicy-2.4.6.tgz from the lookaside repository then the VERSION
file in it says 20061018. However, the contents of serefpolicy-2.4.6.tgz
differ a great deal from the "official" 20061018 version of the
reference policy from Tresys.
I could understand it if the Fedora selinux-policy packages were
directly based on the 20061018 version of the refpolicy from Tresys, but
there seems to be an intermediate stage of development that produces the
serefpolicy-2.x.x.tgz files in the lookaside repository.
My question is: is there a CVS repository somewhere for a "Fedora
reference policy", that is used to build all these serefpolicy files?
Thanks
Richard Fearn
