Hello,

As I am updating my packages to test this -rc1, I encountered three very
minor problems with secilc:

1. The README says "libsepol >= 2.4", which seems not to be true.  I get
this error when compiling secilc with libsepol 2.4:

  secilc.c:298:7: error: too few arguments to function
  ‘cil_filecons_to_string’
    rc = cil_filecons_to_string(db, &fc_buf, &fc_size);
         ^
  In file included from secilc.c:40:0:
  /usr/include/sepol/cil/cil.h:47:12: note: declared here
    extern int cil_filecons_to_string(cil_db_t *db, sepol_policydb_t
  *sepol_db, char **o
              ^
  <builtin>: recipe for target 'secilc.o' failed
  make: *** [secilc.o] Error 1

The build is fine with libsepol 2.5-rc1, so I guess the dependency only
needs to be updated in the README file.

2. "make" does not build the man page.  This is because it defaults to
the first defined target in the Makefile, which is secilc, not "all",
unlike the other SELinux projects.  I was a little bit surprised that
"make" did not behave like "make all" but I guess this is not a big
deal.  Feel free not to "fix" this.

3. While reading the Makefile, I found that "man" target was missing
from the .PHONY line [2] and I do not know the precise consequences of
an incomplete .PHONY target.  Anyway "make all && make install" works fine.

Thanks,
Nicolas

Thanks for testing. You're correct on all counts. I'll send a patch to
fix these issues shortly.

Thanks,

I've built two testing set of packages for Fedora and both looks good so
far.


* http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/plautrba/selinux-master/

It's built from SELinuxProject/selinux tree without any Fedora
modifications.


* http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/plautrba/selinux/

Builds are based on 20160107-rc1 release with Fedora modifications
tracked in fedora-selinux/selinux repository. The modifications are
above all:

 * python scripts defaults to /usr/bin/python3
 * sepolicy is patched to be usable with python 3
 * other changes not-accepted by upstream

I'm going to push this one to Fedora Rawhide during this week.


Feel free to use and test both sets.

Petr
