This is a request to enable the SELinux code in GDM (>=2.4.4.5). Technically, we're not supporting a desktop SELinux yet, so this isn't critical. But its nice to have, so potential SELinux desktop devs can use it :) I've got 2.4.4.5 installed already, and the SELinux code works. All it requires is this in G2CONF: `use_with selinux` This goes in RDEPEND (and DEPEND): selinux? ( sys-libs/libselinux ) And also a small patch to be applied, which removes the -lattr linking since glibc has these functions now.
Created attachment 25297 [details, diff] remove -lattr linking for SELinux compile
added selinux support in gdm-2.4.4.7 . The patch has been sent upstream i assume ? You mention glibc has this function now, but is this covered in deps ? Is there even the remote possibility that users on older systems don't have this function, Since there seems to be no versioning involved (the selinux glibc dep is versionless) ?
The selinux use flag is masked on all non-SELinux profiles. The selinux profiles enforce the correct glibc (>=2.3). Actually to make it work right, glibc has to be compiled with linux-headers >=2.4.20, which is also enforced by the profile. I didn't send the patch upstream because its more of a hack, and I wasn't sure enough to correctly remove the -lattr checks in the configure, since I dont speak autoconf etc.
