Contributing

If you are interested in working on Reference Policy, feel free to contact the developers at either selinux@tresys.com or on the SELinux mailing list. All public development related discussion happens on the SELinux mailing list. The IRC channel, #selinux on irc.freenode.net, is also appropriate for development discussions.

Patches

When submitting patches, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Patches should be relative to subversion HEAD of Reference Policy trunk when possible.
• Make patches relative to the top of the policy source tree (the directory where the Makefile and build.conf are).
• Do not increase the version numbers in the policy_module() lines. These may be different by the time your patch is merged, and this will cause headaches for merging the patch. The policy version will be increased, when needed, by the developer that is committing the patch.
