Description Nick Coghlan 2012-02-07 23:37:07 UTC

The pulpdist-httpd post install script currently invokes semanage to update the default file contexts on relevant directories. This appears to be *very* slow, having a very noticeable effect on the installation time for the RPM.

So, while the current approach works, alternatives should be explored:
- see if semanage offers a way to make several changes at once (and, if so, whether that makes things faster
- switch from semanage invocation to installing a custom SELinux policy specifically for the PulpDist web app (this is the approach Pulp uses for SELinux compatibility)

Marking all remaining PulpDist issues as CLOSED-EOL

It doesn't make sense to leave these issues open, as PulpDist hasn't been in active development for quite some time, and restarting development would involve a significant modernisation effort that would likely render many of these requests irrelevant.
