Obtaining Source for Fedora SELinux policies

[Antony Vennard]

Hi All,

This may seem like an obvious question but I'm yet to understand how I
do it. How do I obtain the sources for the Fedora SELinux policy
(targetted) used on my system and how do I grab the sources for the
MLS policy should I want to look at that?

I imagine this won't be too difficult to answer, I just can't seem to
find the sources.

Thanks,

Antony

The sources of whatever package installed on your system can be very
easily retrieved by using the yumdownloader utility (part of the
yum-utils package):

yumdownloader --source <package-name>

The source for both models is one and the same.
it is in the selinux-policy-{%version}.src.rpm (available on mirrors or koji)

example:
http://ftp.tudelft.nl/download.fedora.redhat.com/linux/updates/12/SRPMS/s...

I usually extract (cpio) the src rpm and apply the included patch.

I use a simple ugly shell script to fetch / prep the latest selinux-policy sources and if
possible create a diff of a previous version:
