Hi,
I've updated all the SELinux related packages in the AUR. I've changed
most packages names to better fit with upstream names and AUR naming
policy (selinux-pam -> pam-selinux; selinux-usr-libselinux ->
libselinux). I'll keep the old ones a week or two, just in case, then
I'll ask for deletion.
I've only tested those packages in SELinux _disabled_ mode as currently
there aren't any usable policy. I'll be working on this from now on.
Status of core packages that requires patches or rebuild:
* linux: rebuild. bug opened in the Arch bugtracker;
* coreutils: rebuild (links with libselinux);
* cronie: rebuild '--with-selinux' flag;
* findutils: need SELinux patch, can be upstreamed, but is upstream
still alive ?
* openssh: rebuild '--with-selinux' flag;
* pambase: configuration changes to add pam_selinux.so;
* 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;
* shadow: rebuild '-lselinux' and '--with-selinux' flags;
* sudo: rebuild '--with-selinux' flag;
* systemd: rebuild '--enable-selinux' flag;
* util-linux: rebuild '--with-selinux' flag;
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).
I think this looks good!
Suggestions for packages are welcomed as AUR comments or issues on
GitHub: https://github.com/Siosm/siosm-selinux
A repository with signed packages for x86-64 only is available at
http://repo.siosm.fr/siosm-selinux/ (See
https://tim.siosm.fr/repositories/ if you need instructions or GPG
public key).
I'll also update the Arch Wiki SELinux page soon.
I'll setup an other repository for the SELinux policy as soon as I have
something which can boot in enforcing mode.
Cheers,
Tim
