Unfortunately I don't have access to older copies of RHEL, thus I shoot in the dark sometimes hoping that things work on Fedora 11 (not often), Gentoo (all the time now) and Ubuntu (periodically), which run newer packages and have newer kernels... I shot myself in the foot by not running this on Fedora because Redhat distros have all of the SELinux junk built in by default, or available for inclusion. In general if you want support, there are three options: 1. Give me a machine to develop on (even if it's a few cycles a week, month, whatever), so I can avoid breakage. The more architectures the better as many issues crop up with system calls, architectural differences, and a gamut of other wonderful problems. This is particularly true on Linux at the kernel level I've discovered because 2. Please become a guinea pig and help me test the changes and report them as soon as possible. 3. Isolate, test, develop, and submit a patch. I need this (1. / 2.) basic assistance otherwise I can't guarantee that stuff WILL work because everyone and their brother who's designed Linux distro X-Y-Z has been consistently inconsistent as far as where and how things are defined. > Please, revert the changes or fix them. Moving forward is the only option unless the change is so ridiculously illogical or unnecessary that it warrants reverting it. selinux will be enabled via configurable / inclusive via configure sometime in the future -- thus why _shouldn't_ the selinux Makefiles be migrated as well? > See testcases/kernel/security/selinux-testsuite/README for the > instructions. Ok. This is a start... time to fire up my Fedora VM...
