Hello everyone, I noticed that there is a duplicate hashtab.[hc] code from libsepol in policycoreutils/newrole. Can this be deduplicated somehow? I can think of three options: 1. link to libsepol (a bit unsafe, since hashtab symbols are not versioned, but other programs already use non-versioned symbols form libsepol anyway...), 2. statically link with libsepol's hashtab.o (libsepol code would be needed in ../../libsepol to build newrole) 3. turn the newrole files into symlinks that link to libsepol ones (similar issue as above, the symlinks would have to be substituted for actual files when creating release archive). If we really can't get rid of the duplicity, what should be the policy for updating the hashtab code? Should the same changes be done simultaneously to both copies? Or should we change only libsepol and treat the newrole copy as mostly frozen legacy code? The thing is, I'd like to make some small changes in them, but I'm not sure how to handle the duplicity.
