[DSE-Dev] Autopkgtest support for libsepol source package

[Adithya.Balakumar at toshiba-tsip.com]

Hello,



Apologies for my delayed response. But thanks for the information.



Yes, we are discussing in CIP on how we can support by contributing to packages. We have already started in the direction to add autopkgtest support e.g. fail2ban, tpm2-tss and in future more packages will be selected based on available resources.



So, CIP (Civil Infrastructure Platform Project) aims to provide SLTS (Super Long Term Support) to selected LTS kernel and selected packages for 10+ years. Please refer CIP Wiki page<https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform/start#kernel_maintainership> for currently supported kernels.



In addition CIP

* Is working for IEC-62443-4 compliance. IEC-62443 are cybersecurity standards. CIP users can reuse IEC-62443 ready platform to build their own products and achieve IEC-62443 compliance faster and with significantly less effort.

* As CIP security images installs many packages to achieve IEC-62443-4-2 compliance, it’s one of the requirements is all installed packages should have tests available. Hence we are working for it.



Thanks and Regards,

Adithya Balakumar

That's great!  I'm always keen to have more assessment to allow important use cases.

Yes and it's a great thing to have even without that.  Time is however a limiting factor.

Yes that would definitely be a great thing to do and I'd love to receive patches to do that.  If no-one else beats me to it then I'll look into adding that myself eventually.
