What, you're still claiming that the hardened project has 'grown beyond' Gentoo? *shrug* if you want to make yourselves out as a different distribution from the rest of us then that's fine by me. I'd be more than happy to completely ignore anything to do with selinux if you prefer -- it'd halve the time it takes me to bump certain packages. | Don't care or read what?

I had a metadata.xml file written out for sec-policy and everything, but thanks to those utterly pointless CVS restrictions I couldn't commit it. Really, what's the reason behind keeping the lock in place, other than that it makes you feel special? As you've seen, I and several others who aren't part of your elite posse have entirely legitimate reasons for touching things in there on occasion. We all already have more than enough access to totally kill the tree anyway (including being able to force an overwrite of anything installed by sec-policy/*), so you can't claim security. *shrug* Maybe you should just switch to using your own tree rather than trusting anything that's coming from us mere mortals. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Signature_Wed__23_Mar_2005_06_07_14_+0000_ifLQV=a4JrUDn5Ya Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCQQeU96zL6DUtXhERAktYAJsGGVl+Q9AIZYm319yd4L5dTslYNgCcDuS9 PsOo2k7BFrN/YRBSKxXsJU0= =XxCq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Wed__23_Mar_2005_06_07_14_+0000_ifLQV=a4JrUDn5Ya-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
