New selinux-policy-macros repo in fedora-selinux organization

[Lukas Vrabec]

Introducing new repository called selinux-policy-macros[1]. This repo is 
main store for rpm macros which can be used by rpm packages creating 
custom packages with policies.

Repo contains macros for installing/uninstalling SELinux modules, 
setting booleans and properly labeling objects installed by custom 
SELinux module.

These macros will be part of selinux-policy package on all supported 
Fedoras.

Any feedback is welcomed.
Lukas.

I would suggest that if we're at the point of needing a package with
macros, we're probably at the point of needing some packaging
guidelines.  There is currently no mention of selinux _at all_ on the
main guidelines page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines

That's probably not a good thing.

Perhaps someone could work on or finish either
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux_Policy_Modules_Packaging_Draft or
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/SELinux

Hi Jason,

Yes, currently I'm working on guidelines how to package own SELinux 
module and selinux-policy-macros repo is technical backround for it. 
This guidelines will be published soon.

Hope, I answered your questions.

Lukas.
