Hello, I agree it would be nice to be able to use SELinux on NixOS, and that the first step consists in handling the file paths that are very specific to this distribution. The patch you submitted adds the support of source file contexts ending with "/*", but it does not allow things like "match /chroot/nix/*/bin and replace it with /usr/bin". This could be solved in several ways. The most straightforward way probably consists in making selabel_sub_key() call selabel_sub() several times, until no substitution occurred. An other possibility could consist in using fnmatch() or regexp to match the source pattern of substitution files, but I guess this would impact performance too much. I agree with adding support of source entries ending with "/*" in file context substitution files. If others agree with this, for the next iteration of the patch I suggest naming the new member of struct selabel_sub "ends_with_star" instead of "wildcard". This would make the code easier to understand. Thanks, Nicolas
