Hi folks,

Revision 2 of the SELinux base policy (based on the 20120725 release) is now
available in the hardened-dev overlay. It contains the following fixes:

<no bug> Backport file_contexts.subs_dist changes
<no bug> Backport ntp policy changes
#248485 Update publicfile daemon binary contexts
#429486 Support initrc_t creating /run/tor for the tor daemon

#427750 Allow init to change the attribute of the mysqld run dir

<no bug> Use proper context substitutions for /usr and /etc/init.d

I also made policycoreutils-2.1.10-r5 available, which should fix the
following bugs:

#427596 rlpkg fails on Python3

This seems to break policycoreutils. If you get "too many values to unpack",
edit /etc/selinux/strict/contexts/files/file_contexts.subs_dist (or
whatever SELinux profile you have) and remove the comments from the file.

Tracked through bug #431486
