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.

Comment 9 Petr Lautrbach 2015-02-26 15:39:01 UTC 
There missing declaration for one symbol:

$ make DEBUG=1
..
direct_api.c: In function ‘semanage_direct_list’:
direct_api.c:1483: error: implicit declaration of function ‘semanage_module_enabled’


It's fixed in [1] which fixes also the other bug #872700

[1] https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux/commit/c1323f22c7ad93b975eb8b6a251b893bc88f240f
Comment 12 Petr Lautrbach 2015-03-13 16:34:41 UTC 
The testsuite needs to be fixed to use char fname[] = "..."; instead of char fname[] = { ... };

I'll provide a patch and a respin.
Comment 13 Petr Lautrbach 2015-03-16 21:17:18 UTC 
Note: the teststuite is not suitable to be run with root privileges:

$ head libsemanage-2.0.43.git/tests/README
Notes on tests
============================
The semanage_access_check test in the semanage_store suite simulates a
read-only filesystem by using DAC permissions. Consequently, these tests
will fail if run as root, as root can override DAC permissions.
