I use SLIDE most of the time for policy development as well but just for
the record: Eclipse SLIDE is not required.
I know that it is not required, but is
more easy to me to collaborate
with my colleagues that they all are Eclipse´s fans (like me)
You can do it just as easily with your favourite text editor and
some
grepping.
SLIDE does help me write policy more efficient, and for me its not just
SLLDE that is beneficial its the whole Eclipse suite, git integrated,
python, bash.
That´s another good reason to use it, because I use Python, R, Java
and Bash on my daily work, and if it can integrate it with SELinux, better.
But the more one gets familiar with policy the less beneficial SLIDE
gets. SLIDE helps identify typos and syntax errors because of its
highlighting features. So if i am unsure whether i am typing some
interface call properly then highlighting will allow me to determine
that quickly.
We are out of time and SLIDE can help us to work more quickly and
efficiently.
But once you know all or most of the interfaces then using a simple
text
editor gets more interesting since vi is almost everywhere available.
That´s the
second step for us, because all servers that we manage
doesn´t have graphical interface, so, we use Vim for these tasks too
The filter functions, declaration window, policy browser and search
functionality is also nice, but for me the highlighting has proven the
most handy (its just more efficient to write policy correct the first
time instead of writing what you think is right the first time around,
then trying to build it, and fix subsequent syntax and other errors.)
Good, if you
need any help on the development, it´s a interesting
project to work.
