Description Joshua Brindle (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-08-23 16:17:41 UTC
Per request on bug 6693 here is a list of the apps that would need to have 
patches applied
Fileutils
findutils
logrotate
openssh
procps
psmisc
sh-utils
stat
tar
util-linux
vcron

I don't think it should be hard to patch these, the thing i'm unsure about is 
version differences
say gentoo uses a higher version of some package then the patch is written 
for, and the patch will not cleanly apply to the new version. How could you 
make someone who wants to compile everything with the selinux patches use the 
lower version that has the patch and not the higher version? Also, SELinux 
isn't a drop in, "automatically make me secure" thing, it requires policies, 
domains, and contexts be created. There would certainly need to be a fairly 
detailed doc written for most gentoo users, and I would love to do it, but 
don't know if i have the time. Perhaps if i had help... I'll just have to see
