Hi all, |

The current sec-policy category contains many old ebuilds for old and |
4 |
obsoleted SELinux policies. In my opinion, it would be better if we purge |
5 |
them so that only those based on the 20101213 refpolicy remain (and for |
6 |
those, only a limited set). |

My general idea on purging ebuilds is to drop all stable ebuilds except the |
9 |
latest stable, and to drop all ~arch ebuilds except the last two or so. |
10 |
|
11 |
I know the current stable ones might not even function well, but dropping |
12 |
all stables might result in dependencies being broken for existing users |
13 |
(even if they run in permissive mode, it would cause Portage to fail |
14 |
installing master packages that depend on a SELinux policy... |
15 |
|
16 |
I don't mind drafting a script or patch that does this, but if a developer |
17 |
sais he doesn't need a patch it'll save me quite some time :-) Also, if you |
18 |
just prefer a list of ebuilds to keep (for each package) that's fine too, |
19 |
but in that case don't forget to clean the files/ folder too. |
