Even if it wasn't - libraries are not promoted to base just because its cool to have them there, but because base programs (want to) use them. Having OOTB support for SELinux would really rock *dream*, and I guess there will be little to no opposition to this feature, since it would not be enabled by default. > So, I guess we could, indeed...anyway I bet you'll ask us to do so at > some moment, won't you? *asking* :-) Martin -- Martin Pitt http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com Debian Developer http://www.debian.org In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?
