Subject: [gentoo-dev] Last rites: some sec-policy/selinux-* packages

1 In the past, some SELinux policy packages provided SELinux modules whose
2 name didn't reflect the package name. For instance, selinux-gnupg provided
3 the "gpg" SELinux module.
4
5 A year or so ago, our SELinux module packages got a standard naming
6 convention so that selinux-<module> provides the <module> SELinux module.
7 Or, in the example above, "selinux-gpg" provides "gpg".
8
9 The ebuilds that had a "wrong" name got updated to DEPEND on the new package
10 (so they act as some sort of wrapper) so that we didn't have to introduce
11 package renaming. I've now also removed all dependencies on these wrapper
12 packages and will remove them from the tree in about 30 days.

14 The packages are:
15 selinux-acpi
16 selinux-audio-entropyd
17 selinux-bluez
18 selinux-cyrus-sasl
19 selinux-desktop
20 selinux-ftpd
21 selinux-ipsec-tools
22 selinux-jabber-server
23 selinux-nfs
24 selinux-oidentd
25 selinux-snmpd
26 selinux-tftpd
27 selinux-ucspi-tcp
28 selinux-courier-imap
29 selinux-gnupg
30 selinux-haveged
31 selinux-openldap
