# Contributing to SELinux
|
||||
|
||||
Contributing to the SELinux userspace project is a similar process to
|
||||
other open source projects. Bug reports, new features to the existing
|
||||
code, additional tools, or updated documentation are all welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find a list of open issues where you might contribute to the SELinux kernel code at
|
||||
https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux-kernel/issues or to the SELinux userspace code at
|
||||
https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/issues.
|
||||
|
||||
See the selinuxproject.org [user resources
|
||||
page](http://selinuxproject.org/page/User_Resources) for more
|
||||
information on mailing lists, documentation, and other resources.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reporting Bugs
|
||||
|
||||
All bugs and patches should be submitted to the [SELinux mailing
|
||||
list](https://lore.kernel.org/selinux) at selinux@vger.kernel.org.
|
||||
|
||||
When reporting bugs please include versions of SELinux related libraries and
|
||||
tools (libsepol, libselinux, libsemanage, checkpolicy). If you are
|
||||
using a custom policy please include it as well.
|
||||
|
||||
## Compiling
|
||||
|
||||
There are a number of dependencies required to build the userspace
|
||||
tools/libraries. On a Fedora system you can install them with yum:
|
||||
|
||||
# yum install audit-libs-devel bison bzip2-devel dbus-devel dbus-glib-devel flex flex-devel flex-static glib2-devel libcap-devel libcap-ng-devel pam-devel pcre-devel python-devel setools-devel swig ustr-devel
|
||||
|
||||
The tools and libraries can be built and installed under a private directory from the top level with make, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
$ make DESTDIR=~/obj install install-pywrap
|
||||
|
||||
## Contributing Code
|
||||
|
||||
After obtaining the code of the repository (see below), create a patch
|
||||
against the repository, and post that patch to the [SELinux mailing
|
||||
list](https://lore.kernel.org/selinux) at selinux@vger.kernel.org. When preparing
|
||||
patches, please follow these guidelines:
|
||||
|
||||
- Patches should apply with -p1
|
||||
- Must apply against HEAD of the master branch
|
||||
- Separate large patches into logical patches
|
||||
- Patch descriptions must end with your "Signed-off-by" line. This means your
|
||||
code meets the Developer's certificate of origin, see bellow.
|
||||
|
||||
When adding new, large features or tools it is best to discuss the
|
||||
design on the mailing list prior to submitting the patch.
|
||||
|
||||
## Development Repository
|
||||
|
||||
Git is a modern source code management system. For more information
|
||||
about Git please see the Git website.
|
||||
|
||||
To get an anonymous checkout of the SELinux userland repository you can
|
||||
run:
|
||||
|
||||
$ git clone https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux.git
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
license and I have the right under that license to submit that

|
||||
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am

|
||||
in the file; or
|
||||
|
||||
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other

|
||||
are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
|
||||
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
|
||||
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
|
||||
this project or the open source license(s) involved.
