Subject: [gentoo-hardened] Idea behind different ebuilds sec-policy/selinux-*

1 Hello
2
3 I am trying to understand SELinux (and SELinux@Gentoo). I looked at
4 "sec-policy/selinux-sudo-20070329" and it seems that this ebuild does not
5 compile anything new. It just uses files from "Reference Policy" and builds
6 from it module sudo.pp.
7
8 The questions are:
9 Why "sec-policy/selinux-base-policy" does not include policy rules for some
10 programs/services (like sudo)? Why "sec-policy/selinux-base-policy" does not
11 compile all of modules?
12
13 It seems that base.pp from selinux-base-policy does not have many modules from
14 reference policy. Some of them can be installed by different ebuild but some
15 can't (it seems that base.pp does not contain e.g. logwatch policy rules).
16 This is on purpose?
