[arch-general] selinux groups not working
I am trying to install selinux on my system from Timothee's repos. But I am only able to install package group "selinux" but the *selinux-system-utilities, **selinux-userspace, **selinux-policies* and *selinux-extras* package groups doesn't seem to be working. [root@arch ~]# pacman -S selinux-system-utilities selinux-userspace selinux-policies selinux-extras error: target not found: selinux-system-utilities error: target not found: selinux-userspace error: target not found: selinux-policies error: target not found: selinux-extras [root@arch ~]# I know I can install from AUR but I was of the expectation that this should work from the http://repo.siosm.fr/$repo/ repos.

I know I can install from AUR but I was of the expectation that this should work from the
repos. Always -Syu when installing apps, might not help in this instance but will rule out not being up-to-date as the issue. Cheers

Hi, I removed those groups as most of the packages are required anyway for SELinux support, and there is not point is keeping them in different groups. I kept only the selinux group. I'll re-introduce an "extra" group as soon as I can make sure a package is really extra and isn't required for normal operation. Tim

I found that the linux kernel was not included in the selinux group. I think users would mostly prefer one group called 'selinux' and it will just install all the required packages for a minimal selinux to be working on a system. Thanks for the reply though.

Yes, I will fix this soon. But SELinux support should be included in the official Arch kernel from 3.13 (according to the bugtracker). So this isn't much of a problem.

That's exactly what I'm going to do (no ETA): * selinux group: only what's strictly necessary; * selinux-tools/extra group(s): other useful, not mandatory, packages. Tim
