I had a few issues while getting this release in Gentoo.


https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467258

- libselinux does not provide selinux_current_policy_path() but this method is
  used in policycoreutils in a number of locations.

I had to take the definition from this method from
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/libselinux/current/SOURCES/libselinux-rhat.patch?revision=400400&view=co&pathrev=400400
(only included the definition in Gentoo for now). Seems that this is a
much-needed function (otherwise tools like semanage just break).


https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467264

- using semanage permissive fails with stacktrace referring to a Makefile on
  a non-existing location (/usr/share/selinux/default/Makefile)

I have yet to find the culprit of this (getting late so that'll be for
tomorrow evening).


https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467268

- policycoreutils' sepolicy command requires yum python bindings

Since yum is not available on Gentoo, is this really necessary?

Wkr,
