Thanks for this release! I have built and installed Arch Linux packages for it and have not experimented any noticeable issue. Here are some notes which could be useful for packagers: * Important notice: when overriding PREFIX, BINDIR, SBINDIR, SHLIBDIR, LIBEXECDIR, etc., DESTDIR has to be removed from the definition. For example on Arch Linux, I had to change SBINDIR="${pkgdir}/usr/bin" to SBINDIR="/usr/bin". * Defining variable LIBSEPOLA (to /usr/lib/libsepol.a, for example) is no longer mandatory (thanks to the switch to "-l:libsepol.a" in Makefiles). * Still in Makfiles, PYSITEDIR has been renamed PYTHONLIBDIR (and its definition changed). * selinux-gui (ie. system-config-selinux GUI application) is now compatible with Python 3. Doing this required migrating away from PyGTK to the supported PyGI library. This means that selinux-gui now depends on python-gobject, Gtk+ 3 and selinux-python. It no longer requires PyGtk or Python 2. By the way, for Arch Linux users who want to test the RC, I have published the PKGBUILDs I have written on branch "selinux-2.8-rc" of https://github.com/archlinuxhardened/selinux/commits/selinux-2.8-rc .
