My experimental SELinux for Debian sarge backports have been updated. The core libraries and utilities are updated to the versions just uploaded to unstable.

Therefore, they may of course contain the same bugs as the unstable versions and since I redid the packaging of libselinux and libsemanage - I didn’t understand Manojs packaging system, and these packages needed larger modifications for sarge python support - they may also contain extra bugs.

But even users of unstable might be interested in grabbing the “refpolicy” packages from this repository. These packages are now a modular policy. This is possible since the just uploaded toolchain finally has working policy module linking and results in a significantly smaller policy, since you don’t have to add rules for software not installed.

To support this, I’ve written a tool to resolve inter-module dependencies and to automatically install modules matching the software packages you have installed. Expect to see this in the unstable refpolicy packages sometime, too. Maybe someone else will contribute a ncurses frontend to select policy modules.

Please note that bug reports should be directed to the Debian SELinux Mailing Lists. Please use the mailing lists, instead of just contacting me directly.

On a side note, I don’t know if I’ll be continuing these efforts.
