[gentoo-soc] SELinux Policy originator | Progress report #4

[Devan Franchini]

Hello again everyone!

============================ Progress ==============================

Some headway is being made on seorigin.

To restate, seorigin is comprised of three components:

* The capture plugin - Grabs raw m4 macro expansions of a selinux
policy package and parses it into source and definition records.
* The Workflow component - Stores each record into a database for the
query interface to later access, this database needs to check if it
needs to be cleaned, or updated as well.
* The Query Interface - The user end interface that displays the
information needed by the user. Where all the magic happens!

The capture plugin is near completion; it parses source records from
*.te files and definition records from all_interfaces.conf as well as
*.spt files. I was able to create records from .te files and
all_interfaces.conf but I want to double check some information before
I continue on with *.spt files because it seems like their patterns
are not as easy to spot as the others.

Once I know the patterns then the parsing will be easy enough.

I hope to finish the capture-plugin completely within the next few
days and I hope to begin working on the workflow component (which I
believe will take the most time out of all of these components).

Hope everyone is coding well! :)
