#59 Switch Tumbleweed to SELinux
Closed: Deferred 10 months ago by GeraldPfeifer. Opened 10 months ago by jsegitz.

With the advent of ALP and more and more products moving to SELinux the question is how we want to handle Tumbleweed. I'm running SELinux on Tumbleweed for a while and it works well. I'm actually not very keen on proposing this change, but I don't see a lot of alternatives. I would like to discuss this with the board first and then put it to a public discussion


I'm running Tumbleweed with SELinux on all of my Tumbleweed systems and have been doing so since mid 2020. My experience has been pretty smooth and non-invasive.

At least from my perspective as an individual, I think you should be good to go. As a member of the Board, we can't and don't want to proscribe anything.

Thanks for the comment. I don't want you to decide this, but this is a pretty big discussion and this needs to be moderated in some form. If I just post this on the mailing lists I don't see us coming to a decision. What's the way to decide something like this for openSUSE?

Unfortunately, we don't have an equivalent process to Fedora's Change process, so the best you can do is announce it on the factory@ mailing list.

Johannes, maybe check in with Thorsten (Kukuk) and Richard (Brown) how they have been going about bigger changes like usr-merge?

In addition I'd connect with Dominique and the release managers and then involve the factory@ list.

(I'm closing this ticket here, since it's not a board decision as Neal mentioned; of course we'll chime in should the conversation not remain civil and constructive.)
