error on build of latest cvs (head) selinux-usr/policy

error on build of latest cvs (head) selinux-usr/policy

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

bug-report time!

i get the following message:

mkdir -p /etc/security/selinux
/usr/bin/checkpolicy -o /etc/security/selinux/policy.15 policy.conf
/usr/bin/checkpolicy:  loading policy configuration from policy.conf
ERROR 'syntax error' at token 'typealias' on line 2764:
typealias net_conf_t alias resolv_conf_t;
type net_conf_t, file_type, sysadmfile;
/usr/bin/checkpolicy:  error(s) encountered while parsing configuration

i also had to add:

$(ROOTDIR)/.default_contexts: appconfig/root_default_contexts
        mkdir -p $(ROOTDIR)
		install -m 644 $< $@

mkdir -p because otherwise the file doesn't get copied because
the directory doesn't exist.

l.

expecting email to be received and understood is a bit like
picking up the telephone and immediately dialing without
checking for a dial-tone; speaking immediately without listening
for either an answer or ring-tone; hanging up immediately and
believing that you have actually started a conversation.

What version of checkpolicy are you using?  It looks like you have an old 
checkpolicy and a new policy source...

 ah... i sorta-worked that one out: i'm patching up the latest cvs
 with the .diffs from newselinux, but because i am doing a build
 on one machine and install on another, i didn't want to actually
 _install_ the dpkgs i am building on the build machine.

 oh well :)
