      This patch doesn't appear correct, I'll fix the things above,
have you
been testing this at all?
Must have sent you a bad patch.


This is what the current patch looks like.

And this is still broken.

One more fix.

+    mode = os.stat(path)[stat.ST_MODE]
should be
+    mode = os.lstat(path)[stat.ST_MODE]
Ok, this works but isn't ideal, for example if I try
selinux.restorecon("/") as a non-root user there is no error, no
exception throw, no indication that it failed. There is an exception
thrown if the path doesn't exist which is good.

That is a more fundamental problem in that selinux.lsetfilecon should be
raising the exception.

Ok, hopefully we can get someone to look at the wrappers and make sure they throw exceptions properly.

Back to this patch, it does restorecon after copying or moving files, which isn't ideal. I think it should be rewritten to set contexts and copy/move atomically.
