Description :
Security-enhanced Linux is a feature of the Linux® kernel and a number
of utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to add
mandatory access controls to Linux.  The Security-enhanced Linux
kernel contains new architectural components originally developed to
improve the security of the Flask operating system. These
architectural components provide general support for the enforcement
of many kinds of mandatory access control policies, including those
based on the concepts of Type Enforcement®, Role-based Access
Control, and Multi-level Security.

This package contains checkpolicy, the SELinux policy compiler.
Only required for building policies.

- Update to latest patches from eparis/Upstream
-   checkpolicy: libsepol: implement default type policy syntax
-   
-   We currently have a mechanism in which the default user, role, and range
-   can be picked up from the source or the target object.  This implements
-   the same thing for types.  The kernel will override this with type
-   transition rules and similar.  This is just the default if nothing
-   specific is given.
