Description Amadeusz Sławiński 2013-11-03 14:13:36 UTC

Vim editor supports preserving selinux labels, however it's unconditionally disabled at build time.  This functionality is useful when editing files so they preserve correct security labels (for example files in /etc/init.d).

Following patch adds check for selinux use flag to ebuild, and enables selinux support when needed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
edit file using vim in /etc/init.d

Actual Results:  
file label changes to system_u:object_r:etc_t

Expected Results:  
should stay system_u:object_r:initrc_exec_t
