I will readily admit it isn't a perfect system, in fact it is a step back in some areas, but the changes make it easier for me to get pre-built kernel packages to users who are interested in testing the bleeding edge (the Fedora COPR repository, see below) and it helps me keep up with weekly testing of both the -rcX kernel releases and the changes in the SELinux and audit trees. One of the things I've been trying to work on lately is better, more automated, testing of the SELinux and audit bits in the Linux kernel; unfortunately, some things have had to change a little to help make this happen, but I think the more frequent testing outweighs any disadvantages. The date change is likely a result of moving the patches from audit#next to audit#upstream as part of the process mentioned above. I haven't updated audit#next yet because I know you try to keep linux-next quiet until -rc1 is released; if that has changed let me know and I'll be happy to update audit#next. Also, if you have any suggestions on how to improve my process, I'm always open to new ideas. For reference, the Fedora COPR repository can be found below, it was announced back in November, but only to the relevant lists. Anyone is welcome to give the kernels a try (instructions are provided) and report any problems they find. I tend to push out an update at least once a week to coincide with the new -rcX release, although the exact day varies due to merge conflicts, build problems, etc. * https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/pcmoore/kernel-secnext Eventually I'd like to do something similar for Debian, Gentoo, distro du juor, etc. (I'm hoping if I lower the barrier for testing, more people will give it a try) but I'm starting with Fedora Rawhide to get the kinks worked out and improve my automation. -Paul -- paul moore security @ redhat
