Fine to read this. Thanks. > anyway, kick the tyres, look at the Debian diffs with regards to > the upstream refpolicy.

I have already some open threads over [EMAIL PROTECTED] I hope they will continue to some final state. Maybe the discussion about SELinux problems can be managed on [EMAIL PROTECTED] now. I'm going to post something... Besides refpolicy, we must consider patching some user tools, so they work fine with SELinux. I think we should adopt some patches from Fedora to vim, coreutils,.... It could be annoying to run restorecon after every editing of a config file. Also star should be bumped to some newer version, so we could have at least one tool capable of backup extended attributes (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=454745).
