Not willing to wait any longer for a resolution to the bug I wrote about in my last post I decided to take action. I have now compiled libsepol with my fix applied and uploaded the debian package to my repository.
Since libsepol1-dev ships with a static version of libsepol, I’ve also recompiled some of the packages that build-depends on libsepol1-dev and added them to the repository as well.
If you wish to use SELinux on you slug and feel that you trust me enough to use my version of this rather central piece of security software, add this to your sources.list:
deb http://eddie.ejohansson.se/debian/ etch main
The version number is the same as the version in etch with ‘a’ added at the end. Hopefully this means that when updated official packages are released they will automatically be upgraded.
If you want information on how to configure SELinux, this guide worked for me. But before you follow that guide (and after installing my updated packages), run ‘dpkg-reconfigure selinux-policy-refpolicy-targeted’ so that the base module and modules for the daemons you’re using are properly loaded.

It took some time, but I finally figured out why SELinux wouldn’t work on my Debian/NSLU2 installation. The bug report has all the details.

It’s a tiny patch with almost no impact. But if I someday get to call myself kernel developer, I’ll know that this was where it started 
For now I’ll settle with the fact that I have at least contributed something to my favorite OS. Even if it took some convincing to get it in. But then again, I’m glad they don’t just accept patches from any random Joe Developer without reviewing it.

After a few weeks offline due to me moving (and my server moving with me), ejohansson.se is now back online. I still have some reconfiguring to do, so expect some downtime. But hopefully not two weeks…

Just wanted to share my new favourite alias. Really nice, especially if you read a lot of source code using less and prefer colors.
alias cless='LESSOPEN="| highlight --ansi --force %s" less -NR'
Tip: If you’d like more colors, replace –ansi with –xterm256.

Licq 1.3.4 was released not more than four hours ago. Take a look at the release notes and then download it while it’s hot.
As always, there’s a lot of bug fixes and new features. My personal favourite is a rather simple, but useful, new feature: the ability to switch tab using the mouse wheel. But then, I might be a bit biased since I wrote it myself It was my first contribution to Licq and one of the reasons I’m now a Licq developer.
The sayings “It’s the small things in life” and “Scratching an itch” are oh so true.
