Why are that big part of hardened a seperated project and not integrated |
| 2 |
into the mainline? For example the stack protector is something more and |
| 3 |
more distros seems to integrate into in mainline, why does not gentoo |
| 4 |
try to integrate it? |
| 5 |
SELinux and the kernel-patches and some the alike I can understand, but |
| 6 |
many other things and problems are afaik somewhat similar between |
| 7 |
hardened and mainline in gentoo. For example I had a problem with a |
| 8 |
command giving a stack-smash, that was assigned to hardened and nothing |
| 9 |
happened (probably due to time-shortage) until another non-ssp user got |
| 10 |
problems with the same commando, and the fix for his problem fixed mine |
| 11 |
problem too. |

So the main question again: Why are so much "security"-things just |
| 14 |
"hardened"? |
