Contributing to Fedora's SELinux policies

[Jag Raman]

Hi,

I'm new to this email list. I'm wondering if it's possible to contribute
to Fedora's SELinux policy.

We are developing "multi-process" QEMU, which dis-aggregates emulated
devices into separate processes. We are also developing SELinux policies
to confine the dis-aggregated processes to the resources they need.

We would like to contribute to Fedora's SELinux policy as it appears to
be the upstream for similar distros like RHEL, CentOS, etc...

Could you please confirm how we could go about contributing to Fedora's
SELinux policy? Is there a publicly accessible repo. where we could
contribute?

Thanks!

The selinux-policy RPM references the repository:

URL         : https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy

There are several projects under https://github.com/fedora-selinux which
might interest you.  I see that pull requests are being merged so that
seems a reasonable way to contribute.

Agree with Jason,

Feel free to contribute, we'll be more than glad ;)

Thanks,
Lukas.

Thank you very much Jason & Lukas.

I’m trying to build the policy. After cloning the “selinux-policy" repo.,
we need to execute “.travis.yml” to setup the “contrib” folder. Is that correct?

Thanks!

I'm facing some build issues, and would like to confirm that the 
following steps I'm following to build the policy are correct.

# git clone https://github.com/containers/container-selinux.git
# rm -rf selinux-policy/policy/modules/contrib
# git clone https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy-contrib.git 
selinux-policy/policy/modules/contrib;
# git clone https://github.com/containers/container-selinux.git
# cp container-selinux/container.* selinux-policy/policy/modules/contrib;
# cd selinux-policy
# make conf
# make policy

One of the issues I'm facing is that "djbdns.te" is passing an attribute
(djbdns_domain) as argument to the interface
"corenet_all_recvfrom_unlabeled". That doesn't seem correct, and
therefore wondering if we're even supposed to build policy for djbdns.

Could someone kindly confirm the steps to build the Fedora selinux-policy
with "contrib"s.

Thanks!

There is no need to execute travis.yml, this file is for CI. It's enough
to clone contrib repo to selinux base repo.

Are you following this process?

The best way would be create own rpm package with updates SELinux
policy, then you can install it to your system:

Thank you very much for the wiki.

I was executing "make conf; make policy", which appears to be a mistake.
Running "make policy" alone works. It looks like the conf. is
distributed as part of the repo.

Thanks for the help!

You're welcome ;)

Looking forward for patches.
