Description Patrick Uiterwijk 2015-12-23 10:28:52 UTC 
Description of problem:
For EPEL, we have mediawiki in a versioned path (/var/www/mediawiki123, ...), but the policy only works if it's in /var/www/mediawiki/. Please update the policy to allow for versioned paths, since that's pretty much a requirement to be able to comply with EPEL packaging guidelines.
Comment 7 Lukas Vrabec 2017-10-12 12:16:56 UTC 
We're going to close this bug as WONTFIX because

 * of limited capacity of selinux-policy developers
 * the bug is related to EPEL component or 3rd party SW only
 * the bug appears in unsupported configuration 

We believe this bug can be fixed via a local policy module.
For more information please see:

If you disagree, please re-open the bug.
