Status of core packages that requires patches or rebuild:
* findutils: need SELinux patch, can be upstreamed, but is upstream still alive ? * pam: rebuild '--enable-selinux' flag for Linux-PAM, patch for pam_unix2, which only removes a function already implemented in a library elsewhere. Is there an upstream here? I couldn't find one; * psmisc: small patch, already upstream. Will be in version 22.21;
Total:
1 rebuild as-is, 8 rebuild with additional flags/config, 3 rebuild with patches required (with one already upstream and two potentially dead upstream).
Quick update here: * The findutils patch is already upstream and in the latest *development* release (4.5.10). No ETA for the stable release. They need help fixing bugs if someone is interested [0]. * According to Thorsten Kukuk (latest known pam_unix2 developer), pam_unix2 is no longer under development and we should use Linux-PAM, which we are using already. Is there a reason pam_unix2 is still in the repository? So the only patch not already upstream is the one with a dead upstream. Now let's go back to work on the policy...
