#1269649 — Bug#1120437: RFS: libsepol/3.9-3 -- SELinux binary policy manipulation library and development files

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: selinux-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org, Russell Coker
<russell@coker.com.au>

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "libsepol":

 * Package name     : libsepol
   Version          : 3.9-3
 * URL              : https://selinuxproject.org
 * License          : GPL-2+, LGPL-2.1+, Zlib
 * Vcs              : https://salsa.debian.org/selinux-team/libsepol
   Section          : libs

The source builds the following binary packages:

  sepol-utils - Security Enhanced Linux policy utility programs
  libsepol2 - SELinux library for manipulating binary security policies
  libsepol-dev - SELinux binary policy manipulation library and
development files

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/libsepol/

Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command:

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/libs/libsepol/libsepol_3.9-3.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

 libsepol (3.9-3) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * debian/control:
     - add myself to uploaders
     - bump Standards-Version to 4.7.2 (no further changes)
     - drop redundant default Rules-Requires-Root setting
     - drop unused dependency variable
   * drop Debian revision from library symbols
   * d/rules: simplify and enable LTO
   * d/patches:
     - apply upstream fix for genfscon asterisks
     - apply upstream policy capability additions

Regards,
-- 
  Christian Göttsche

Hello Christian,

this generally looks good, I have got two questions:
* Enabling LTO: Does this bring huge benefit for libsepol, or why do you
  enable this? Generally *imho* we should not use non-default
  optimization options without some kind of rationale/benchmarking.
* "add myself to uploaders": Was this coordinated with the libsepol
  maintainers?

Thanks, cu Andreas
