Getting that to work required some obtrusive changes to the source
code, which they've only done to 8.2.4. Even that doesn't seem to be
production-quality and it's not clear how that will make its way into
newer versions yet.
"they've" has the potential to be "we"... As I recall the individual
made a reasonable effort to introduce the work that he was doing to the
community.

If my memory is correct, the alpha implementation was announced after
the feature freeze date of 8.3.
# Sorry for my lacking of understanding for PostgreSQL development processes.
Therefore, Tom suggested this kind of discussion should be restarted
after the release of 8.3. I also agreed it.
But unless
there's somebody else with a burning need to work on this area I
doubt that will happen--there's nothing about SELinux that anybody
does just for fun.
Ya think? :P
I recognize that this "SE PGSQL" has the potential to be a portability
nightmare (as it only works on linux) but it certainly has potential to
give us a leg up on a lot of work.
Yes, it works only on Linux.
I added --enable-selinux build option into the configure script.
It prevent to enable SE-PostgreSQL feature on any other plathomes.
Anyway, not saying its good code but I did read the docs and it sure
looks cool.
Thanks,
