To come back to the SELinux issue with RPMforge. There is a huge problem 
with the differences in SELinux forcing us to either provide different 
rules-files for different distributions, or not providing SELinux support 
at all.

I know that last bit is not an option, so we probably have to work with 
macros per distribution to support SELinux in a transparant way. Can 
anyone shed some light on this ?

PS I wish I could have attended Ralph Angenendt's SELinux presentation, or 
the one from Jens Kuehnel though.
