Subject: [PATCH v2] contrib/selinux: use regex instead of SELinux template
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 13:50:52 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251030082058.392668-1-contact@danishpraka.sh> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251029001704.43f73a42@elisabeth>

It might be possible to avoid using SELinux template (%USERID),
and instead using regex to match user ids. This would allow
discarding the explicit restorecon call while during package builds[1].

Original suggestion from cathy.hu@suse.com:

> running restorecon would be unnecessary if the passt upstream selinux
> module would not use ${USERID} in pasta.fc (gets converted to [0-9]+ anyway)
