[people/stevee/selinux-policy.git] / refpolicy / Changelog

- Patch to stabilize modules.conf `make conf` output, from Erich Schubert.
- Move xconsole_device_t from devices to xserver since it is
  not actually a device, it is a named pipe.
- Handle nonexistant .fc and .if files in devel Makefile by
  automatically creating empty files.
- Remove unused devfs_control_t.
- Add rhel4 distro, which also implies redhat distro.
- Remove unneeded range_transition for su_exec_t and move the
  type declaration back to the su module.
- Constrain transitions in MCS so unconfined_t cannot have
  arbitrary category sets.
- Change reiserfs from xattr filesystem to genfscon as it's xattrs
  are currently nonfunctional.
- Change files and filesystem modules to use their own interfaces.
- Add user fonts to xserver.
- Additional interfaces in corecommands, miscfiles, and userdomain
  from Joy Latten.
- Miscellaneous fixes from Thomas Bleher.

  now that optionals are allowed everywhere.
- Enable optional blocks in base module and monolithic policy.
  This requires checkpolicy 1.30.1.

- Change build order to preserve m4 line number information so policy
  compile errors are useful again.
- Additional MLS interfaces from Chad Hanson.
- Move some rules out of domain_type() and domain_base_type()
  to the TE file, to use the domain attribute to take advantage
  of space savings from attribute use.

  Petre Rodan.
