Description Renaud Métrich 2022-11-16 08:23:02 UTC
Description of problem:

The /etc/selinux/config file, which is created by postinstall of selinux-policy package, mentions Fedora and a Fedora doc:
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
# See also:
# https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/getting-started-with-selinux/#getting-started-with-selinux-selinux-states-and-modes
#
# NOTE: In earlier Fedora kernel builds, SELINUX=disabled would also
# fully disable SELinux during boot. If you need a system with SELinux
...
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

IMHO it would be better to remove "In earlier Fedora kernel builds" and replace this by "Up to RHEL 8 release included,".

Additionally the doc link to fedoraproject should be replaced by a doc link to RHEL9 below:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/using_selinux/changing-selinux-states-and-modes_using-selinux#changing-selinux-modes-at-boot-time_changing-selinux-states-and-modes

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

selinux-policy
