Just to clarify: The upstream ML is a place for general discussions about SELinux itself. Just in case you intend to mention the boolean there - for that you should rather file a BZ against selinux-policy on Fedora. I recommended the list specifically for the general question about symlinks. > > > I don't understand what is meant here...

Which would be a better solution, but likely also a lot of work to fix everywhere properly :/ -- Ondrej Mosnacek Software Engineer, Platform Security - SELinux kernel Red Hat, Inc. _______________________________________________ selinux mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
