You need to first obtain a policy source tree as your starting point.
If you want to minimize your divergence from the distro-shipped policy,
then download the selinux-policy source RPM (.src.rpm) for your distro,
expand it, and then customize as desired and rebuild it (Dan - is there
a recipe documented somewhere for doing that?).
I have created a screen cast that focuses on just that. However, the
file is 200MB and i do not have the ability to host it.
I just meant writing down the sequence of commands to set up a buildable
policy source tree from the .src.rpm. Screencast seems a bit overkill
for that - it really ought to just be part of the Fedora SELinux FAQ or
Guide IMHO.
Here's what works for me to tweak the policy on a Fedora 8 system.
Make sure you have the latest policy package (otherwise, you might not
be able to get it in source version):
yum update
yum install selinux-policy-targeted
Figure out the version of the rpm:
rpm -qa | grep selinux-policy-targeted
Get the corresponding source rpm:
yumdownloader --source `rpm -qa | grep policy-targeted`
Voila! The source rpm is in your current directory.
From there on, regular instructions for rebuilding rpms apply. The
following is a short tutorial.
