Chris has done a brilliant job up to this point but I see my differences between the upstream growing astronomically. This is causing other distributions to not be able to take advantage of SELinux use in Fedora and similarly it is getting harder for me to merge in upstream changes. Currently the patch that I am applying to Refpolicy is huge # wc policy-20080509.patch 38260 95488 1171253 policy-20080509.patch And I don't see how we can get this merged without huge amounts of effort by me or Chris and neither of us have the time. I think we need a way for third parties to come in an peruse the diffs and apply the no brainer changes to policy. We need the ability for a couple of acks to get minor changes in, without Chris having to look at each change. Most of my changes to policy come about via bugzilla's so I fix a problem reported by an AVC and update policy. I have come up with a system of hundreds/thousands of small changes, but it does not make merging upstream easy. I also have made some grand sweeping changes in the same pool that Chris does not currently agree with or is moving in a slightly different direction (Roles Based Home Dirs) So I guess I am saying help. Can we setup a system of policy Triages, which can look at the policy patches and apply small obvious changes? Dan -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
