fixfiles -F option
Hello List.
I have an rpm for an selinux policy for a custom CentOS 5.3 distribution. When I install
it, I use pre/post install scripts to back up the previous file contexts and run
"fixfiles -C ${FILE_CONTEXT}.pre restore" as in the standard
selinux-policy-targeted rpm.
On an upgrade, old httpd_sys_content_t files are not being updated to public_content_rw_t
because httpd_sys_content_t is in the customizable_types file.
According to the fixfiles man page, -F should "Force reset of context to match
file_context for customizable files", but when I added it, it made no difference. I
had a look at the fixfiles script, and indeed it looks as if -F doesn't work with -C.
Is that correct, or did I miss something?
Is there a recommended way to do that?
Moray.
