We are currently able to work only with non-translated SELinux contexts, but we are using functions that work with translated contexts throughout the code. This patch swaps all SELinux context translation relative calls with their raw sisters to avoid parsing problems. The problems can be experienced with mcstrans for example. The difference is that if you have translations enabled (yum install mcstrans; service mcstrans start), fgetfilecon_raw() will get you something like 'system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0', whereas fgetfilecon() will return 'system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:SystemLow' that we cannot parse. I was trying to confirm that the _raw variants were here since the dawn of time, but the only thing I see now is that it was imported together in the upstream repo [1] from svn, so before 2008. Thanks Laurent Bigonville for finding this out. [1] http://oss.tresys.com/git/selinux.git
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
