Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2010-06-09 18:10:44 UTC
Lately, a mask for SELinux packages has been added to package.mask file. As the mask is intended to be quite persistent and is more profile- than repository-related, I guess it could be better to place it in the 'base' profile package.mask file (i.e. in base/package.mask) instead of the root 'profiles/package.mask' which is considered to be more of a repository-specific mask file.

Excuse me, but what's the relevance between this bug and science overlay?
Comment 2 Chris Richards 2011-01-03 19:10:30 UTC
Can we close this?  Current SELinux profiles use profiles/base/package.mask rather than profiles/package.mask
