Bug 376385 – sys-apps/policycoreutils: binary file in gentoo-x86/

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Matt Turner 2011-07-25 16:30:59 UTC]

./sys-apps/policycoreutils/files/policycoreutils-2.0.85-sesandbox.patch.gz
./sys-apps/policycoreutils/files/policycoreutils-2.0.85-fix-seunshare-vuln.patch.gz

Binary files should be distributed via distfiles. CVS (and in the
future, git) don't handle binary files well.

These are now being hosted here:

That's a good start... (although, that link yields a blank page, and appending the filenames to it yields 404s...)

but this isn't fixed. The files are still in the portage tree and no changes have been made to the ebuilds.

Sorry, I confused this with the patchbundle for the base policies, which was the same issue with CVS hosting binaries.  That is solved and the archive is now in SwifT's dev space.

@SwifT do you want to take care of this one?  You can move these to your dev space too.

Done. Thanks for reporting, sorry for the binary noise in the tree.
