RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1314372 +++

Currently, selinux-policy-* packages don't ship %{_sysconfdir}/selinux/%1/contexts/files/file_contexts.bin. This file is created during post install phase.

It would be useful to generate this file during build time and ship it in order to prevent cases like the one with Live workstation where selinux-policy-targeted is not installed, but only unpackaged. And since there's no .bin files,
file_contexts is parsed in selabel_open().

While it's not a fix for #1308771, it could prevent similar issues in other not-yet-discovered cases and make Live images and maybe even Atomic a little bit faster.

    Build file_contexts.bin file_context.local.bin file_context.homedir.bin during build phase. This fix issue in Fedora live images when selinux-policy-targeted is not installed but just unpackaged, since there's no .bin files, file_contexts is parsed in selabel_open(). Resolves: rhbz#1314372
