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 for more information on mailing lists, documentation, and other resources.

Reporting Bugs

All bugs and patches should be submitted to the SELinux mailing list at [email protected].

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

See README.md for instructions on how to compile and test this project.

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 at [email protected]. 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 below.

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
