Hi,

I have built and installed buildroot  image . But I see that the semange  utility is not getting installed .  This utily is included in the tar.gz  package . But it is got getting build or installed ? Is there any purticular reason why this utility is not included ?

Can I include it ?  Or is there an alternative tool ?


regards,
shaiju.

Because nobody needed it so far.

Yes, you can include it, add an option for it in
package/selinux-python/Config.in, and adjust
package/selinux-python/selinux-python.mk to install it.

Best regards,
