• Bug#1099890: libselinux: rework selabel database refresh

    From =?UTF-8?Q?Christian_G=C3=B6ttsche?=@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 9 12:40:02 2025
    Source: libselinux
    Version: 3.8-4
    Severity: important

    Dear Maintainer,

    with version 3.8-1 the postinst started to rebuild the pre-compiled
    fcontext database to upgrade those to the new binary format version.
    Currently this uses semodule, which is unnecessary heavy-weight and
    might have reduced compatibility, e.g. with monolithic policies.
    Please consider using sefcontext_compile directly, see https://salsa.debian.org/selinux-team/libselinux/-/merge_requests/11
    for a proposal.
    This proposal also contains a trigger to rebuild on libpcre2 updates
    closing #1088171.

    Kind regards,
    Christian Göttsche
