Description Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-11-11 13:29:37 UTC
Currently, when portage is being executed, it installs the files of a package with the SELinux user that portage is currently running. We might want to update this so that the files are installed with the system_u SELinux user, which is the user to be assigned to non-interactive end user resources (system resources).

Reproducible: Always

Nevermind, this is already the case if the context is known.
