Hi,

I am one of the selinux-policy maintainers. Currently, repository for
Fedora is at github.com and RHEL sources are in an internal repo. We have
already discussed moving centos stream sources to some of the public
repositories, but it did not happen. Currently we are discussing it again,
there are a few options how to do so.

To get just the latest repository content, steps described by Troy should
work. Additionally, most of the upstream work is done in Fedora and anyway
every new commit should go to Fedora first, RHEL content is mostly a subset
of Fedora, there are very few differences.

Yes, but the differences might be crucial so it'd be great if we could
look at the repository containing the actual policy used in centos as
well.

Cheers,

I did not oppose the arguments, just commented on the current state and
what was possible that time.

Anyway, the change eventually happened and there is the c9s branch in the
fedora-selinux/selinux-policy repository now.
Thanks everybody for your patience.
