And the people that do not get enough help. I once asked how to get something
to work because of denied execmod. I got a response that it needs
text_rel_shlib_t or something similiar, but there was no help how to do this
correctly in a spec. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/SELinux
helped a little but was/is not up to date and also the work needed for
something this simple is way to much imho. One needs to create at least 2 not
empty files and have a bunch of scriptlets and some other selinux code. This
whole complexity only leads to more packaging errors. What should be there is
help, procedures and helpful tools for a maintainer to be able to easily
package software.
