SELinux and Security changes in the 2.6.27 Kernel
,----[ Quote ]
| # SELinux deferred mapping of filesystem contexts
| This patch by Stephen Smalley addresses the case where "alien" SELinux
| security labels need to be written to the local filesystem, for example, in
| the case of building RPMs where the local policy is different to the policy
| on the system where the RPM is to be installed. This will help with enabling
| SELinux on build systems (e.g. in the Fedora infrastructure) and more
| generally with packagers and ISVs shipping third party policy with RPMS.

Kernel Log: New stable kernels and Nvidia drivers, long-term maintenance for
2.6.27
,----[ Quote ]
| Adrian Bunk has announced that he intends to maintain the 2.6.27 kernel in
| the long term, turning it into a "longtime supported kernel". He wants to
| take over the maintenance of the 2.6.27 kernel series when the maintainers of
| the Linux stable series stop their support – this should happen just before
| or shortly after the release of Linux 2.6.29, which is due in about five to
| six months according the general maintenance strategy.

| As SELinux adoption grows, therefore, the research-and-development challenge
| is to make it more user-friendly. "As we find issues, we'll fix them,"
| Shanker said. "We have to make it easier for the regular person to use. Once
| they learn it, they love it."

Ubuntu gets SELinux
,----[ Quote ]
| It's official: SELinux is now available in the Ubuntu development ("Hardy
| Heron") distribution. "This is the result of the amazing work of the
| ubuntu-security and ubuntu-hardened teams, as well as the huge contributions
| from the folks at Tresys. (note: SELinux will not be the default, but is
| available as a security option.)" Installing it is a simple apt operation.
