Description of problem: We want to make use of libsemanage.so in libvirt to update SELinux policy for new file contexts when running virtual machines. We also have a requirement to minimise the disk footprint from RPMs libvirt depends on. The current libsemanage RPM includes both the C library, and the python binding. This means even though we just want to use the C library, we end up pulling in the entire python runtime. This means we cannot keep our disk footprint small enough to satisfy our users like oVirt This means we need to split the python bindings out into a separate sub-RPM to allow fine-grained insallation of just the C library Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libsemanage-2.0.25-3.fc9.i386 How reproducible: N/A Steps to Reproduce: 1. N/A 2. 3. Actual results: Installing libsemanage pulls in python runtime Expected results: libsemanage RPM does not depend on python Additional info:
Fixed in libsemanage-2.0.27-2.fc10
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
