That does not take into account the fact that our Buildroot package
does not install everything that selinux-python provides.
selinux-python provides:
- audit2allow, a bunch of Python tools that use the sepolgen Python
module, provided by the same package
- chcat, a standalone Python that uses libselinux + semanage (it seems)
- semanage, a Python tool that uses sepolicy and provides the seobject
module used by chcat
- sepolgen, a Python module used by audit2allow
- sepolicy, a Python module used by semanage
As you can see, there's much more than audit2allow and sepolgen in this
package, even though those additional things are not installed today.
Therefore, I think it makes sense to keep separate options for the
different components, especially because it maps with the top-level
directories of selinux-python:
$ ls
audit2allow chcat COPYING Makefile semanage sepolgen sepolicy VERSION
Best regards,
Thomas
