I have a locally maintained package for private use that among other things 
constrains proliferation of files in the following directory:

# ls -lZd /var/lib/puppet/reports/
drwxr-x---. puppet puppet system_u:object_r:puppet_var_lib_t:s0 
/var/lib/puppet/reports/

My rpm contains a script that uses the tmpwatch tool to do some of the work and 
is called by cron and ran as the puppet user.  Using the standard 
selinux-policy-targeted, I get this AVC (and perhaps others):

type=AVC msg=audit(1405588621.722:37432): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=15113 
comm="tmpwatch" name="puppet" dev="vda3" ino=260273 
scontext=system_u:system_r:tmpreaper_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 
tcontext=system_u:object_r:puppet_var_lib_t:s0 tclass=dir

I could change the job to run as root and am familiar with using audit2allow to 
make a local policy exception.  However, I'd like to resolve the issue via my 
rpm directly.  I've not been successful in finding any guidelines in how to 
best approach that task.  Do I package a bit of SEL policy or is there a way to 
have my script run with the puppet_var_lib_t context?
