Bug 536666 – Mailman policy does not properly assign attribute, file contexts are incorrect

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dan O. 2015-01-15 02:41:12 UTC]

The mailman policy in contrib does not have the correct paths in the filecontexts file. When creating the types, the policy does not assign them to the mailman_domain attribute leading to the different types not receiving the permissions they need.

Reproducible: Always

Proposed policy fix

This is my proposed fix, I'm not entirely sure about the file contexts, but they seem to work, and now the mailman_domain attribute is assigned where it should be.

Looks like upstream commit 7b53a1b7999ba245e8712ad9241e49542ce58b14 made this change, which breaks because there is a declaration for /usr/lib/mailman/bin(/.*)? in corecommands.fc which now takes precendence.

Going to add it in a distro_gentoo wrapper for now
