I couldn't reproduce the error, but I noticed you've left out the
percent sign in %attr:

It was reported against RHEL systems, so perhaps the SELinux
(or rpm) in
Fedora suppresses this message.

D'oh. I had tested this in RHEL and cut-n-pasted the fix
upstream. Fixed.

On Fedora this doesn't hurt, ACK.


NACK.

When FreeIPA gets uninstalled, we end up without this file again.
Which would
again lead to this warning on upgrades.

I think we should rather truncate the file on server uninstall
instead of
removing it.


Why don't we simply declare it as %ghost and conditionally label it ?

I do not really like to have empty files just as an artifact, sounds
like the wrong solution, sorry.

Simo.


The file has to exist for SELinux to label it. If we ghost it them the
package will own it if it exists but the SELinux context will still
fail
to apply.

We can apply selinux context in ipa-server-install and not in the spec.
That's when we need it anyway.

Simo.


I don't think we should. It would hose up fixfiles. If things ever got
out-of-sync there would be no easy way to reset the contexts to what
they should be.

And yeah, this is a rather ugly case. I'm not super keen on carrying a
0-length file for no reason either. I tried the ghost method first which
is why I know it doesn't work.

Why would it hose fixfiles ?
fixfiles knows not to bother with missing files afaik.

There is something I guess I am missing here :/

Simo.


Ok, I think I misunderstood your proposal to remove policy from the rpm
then. What is it you're suggesting?

rob

I talked to the guys in #selinux. This is a difference in fixfiles between Fedora and RHEL. In Fedora fixfiles suppresses missing paths. I've reassigned the bugzilla to policycoreutils to get this fixed properly.

Withdrawing my patch.
