Description Miloslav Trmač 2006-04-05 22:42:58 EDT

$ python
Python 2.4.2 (#1, Feb 12 2006, 03:59:46)
[GCC 4.1.0 20060210 (Red Hat 4.1.0-0.24)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import selinux
>>> selinux.matchpathcon('/', 0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: argument number 2: a 'mode_t *' is expected, 'int(0)' is received


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libselinux-python-1.30-1.fc5

My knowledge of swig is minimal, but the attached patch seems to fix it.

Created attachment 127386 [details]
Typedef mode_t as unsigned

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2006-04-11 14:26:47 EDT

Fixed in rawhide - libselinux-1.30.1-1

Is this something worth backporting to FC5, or should I just wait until
something more important comes up?

Comment 3 Miloslav Trmač 2006-04-11 16:43:15 EDT

Thanks!

I don't need it urgently, but as my main workstation has FC5 installed, it would
be nice to get a fix in FC5 sometime.
