Re: [gentoo-user] Is Hardened profile and SELinux support active?

[Nils Freydank]

Hi Ihor,

myself I use only hardened profiles without SELinux on my machines, and 
AFAICT it mostly boils down *this* way to some default toolchain flags for
C/C++ and a nearly-default kernel (sys-kernel/gentoo-soures package)[a].

I dropped a note about your question on the IRC channel #gentoo-hardened on 
freenode[b] and got mostly instant responses from people telling they run 
SELinux fine on Gentoo (so it seems you're right and only our docs are a 
bit dusty) -- you might want to ask there for details ;-)

I'm top-posting here and Cc'ing one of the gentoo devs maintaing SELinux,
so he get's your original question aswell (he hasn't subscribed to this
list). 

hope this helps and from my side also a warm welcome to Gentoo!

[a] side note: it's similar to archs default kernel mostly vanilla upstream
    only with security or bugfix patches and optional patches for
    convenience, e.g. -march=native or systemd vs openrc.
