Fixed means that puppet uses libselinux-ruby bindings. It also means
that only Fedora >= 9 will have selinux support.
I don't know what the odds are of getting libselinux-ruby built for
RHEL. The versions are considerably different. I haven't even looked
to see if the ruby bindings were part of upstream libselinux-1.33.4,
which is what RHEL-5 currently has (versus 2.0.73 on F-10).
(FWIW, it is a lot faster. Who'd have thunk that forking a shell once
or twice for every file puppet touches would be so slow? ;)
I don't mind waiting on puppet runs. Unless 24.7 is right around
the
corner, updating is fine by me.
Puppet-0.24.7rc1 was pushed out a week or so ago. I'd expect the full
release within another week or so.
