Sounds like a great plan.
For likewise-open to work on Fedora, we’ve had to develop policy for
SELinux. What is the relationship between SELinux and Fedora? If I
submit my patches to SELinux (and they’re accepted), is Fedora 12 likely
to get them or will only future releases for Fedora see the changes? How
often are changes picked up?
The selinux-policy maintainer (assuming these are policy changes) is
very proactive in applying policy improvements to active branches, so
assuming Dan thinks your changes have merit, you can generally count on
him pushing them into the next update.
Is it possible to get our software into Fedora 12? Would it make
sense
for us to get a Fedora 12 package going and then to concentrate on
Fedora 13+?
Absolutely, although, we won't respin the ISO images for this package. :)
