Labeling of ~/.local, ~/.config, ... owned by gnome though not gnome specific

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

while working on confinement of selected KDE apps, I came to following issue:

Directories ~/.config, ~/.local, ~/.local/share (and possibly others) are 
labeled as config_home_t, gconf_home_t and data_home_t all owned by gnome 
module. These directories are used by much more programs than just GNOME, 
ranging from KDE apps, pure Qt or GTK apps to for exaple ibus. User's trash is 
also put in one of those. 
Therefore I think, that the directories should be labeled with types that are 
owned by another application/DE unspecific module (Dominick Grift in 
conversation mentioned these are part of freedesktop specifications, so I 
guess it can be named eg. freedesktop). And their naming should also resign 
from application specific names, which is the case of gconf_home_t for 
~/.local.

Regards,
Ondrej Vadinsky
