SELinux Mailing ListRe: Fedora Core 7 has frozen and Fedora 8 Development has started

If I recall correctly, there was some chatter about creating a more generic translation facility so that we could translate the entire SELinux context, versus the MLS range which we do now, into a more human readable label. I believe doing something like this would help achieve some of the goals that Klaus hinted at with the "make it more suitable for everyday use by non-experts". It would also help to reinforce the notion that the context is a blob and in general shouldn't be parsed by applications that don't know what they are doing. -- paul moore linux security @ hp -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
