[Fedora-livecd-list] [PATCH] quiet restorecon

2009-04-09 Thread Marc Herbert
Hi, In my configuration, the attached patch is reducing the output of livecd-creator from 2000 lines to 700 lines. I suspect that these 1300 lines of output from restorecon are not very useful to anyone, are they? Cheers, Marc diff --git a/imgcreate/kickstart.py b/imgcreate/kickstart.py index

[Fedora-livecd-list] SELinux and livecd-creator

2009-04-24 Thread Marc Herbert
Hi, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_a_Live_CD#Set_SELinux_to_permissive_mode SELinux should be in permissive mode for livecd-creator to work. Is this information obsolete? Or did all my past livecd-creator runs fail in a subtle and hard to notice way? Thanks in advance.

Jeremy Katz a écrit : We ensure that contexts are all set correctly at the end with a restorecon. The biggest problem with being in enforcing mode vs permissive is you can get a flood of AVCs I am not sure I get this: do you mean a flood of AVCs on the build host _while_ setting all contexts
