For the new SELinux API in 2.6, it is required that the SELinux policy |
| 2 |
is loaded by initrd. We don't have a mkinitrd in portage. I could add |
| 3 |
a Gentoo-fixed RedHat mkinitrd, but I'd prefer not to, since all I have |
| 4 |
to do in the initrd is 3 commands (and I don't want to maintain a |
| 5 |
mkinitrd ebuild either). However, there is a static shell in the RedHat |
| 6 |
mkinitrd package (nash) that is compiled with dietlibc which I do want, |
| 7 |
because its tiny, and made to run in a initrd. |
| 8 |
|

Would it be acceptable to create something like a "mkpolicyinitrd" |
| 10 |
package that pulls in the RH src rpm, and compiles nash out of it, and |
| 11 |
adds in my own mkinitrd script? I could also put the mkinitrd in our |
| 12 |
selinux-base-policy ebuild, and just create a nash ebuild. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I would rather have a ebuild just for nash. Is there any preference, or |
| 15 |
other suggestions? |
