## Purpose
SELinux Fedora Policy is a fork of the [SELinux reference policy](https://github.com/SELinuxProject/refpolicy/). The [fedora-selinux/selinux-policy](https://github.com/selinux-policy/selinux-policy.git) repo makes Fedora packaging simpler and more transparent for packagers, upstream developers, and users. It is used for applying downstream Fedora fixes, for communication about proposed/committed changes, and for communication with upstream and the community. It reflects the upstream repository structure to make submitting patches to upstream easy.
## Structure
### GitHub
On GitHub, we have one repository containing the policy sources.
$ cd selinux-policy
$ git remote -v
origin git@github.com:fedora-selinux/selinux-policy.git (fetch)
$ git branch -r
origin/HEAD -> origin/master
origin/f27
origin/f28
origin/master
origin/rawhide
Note: As opposed to dist-git, the Rawhide content resides in the _rawhide_ branch rather than _master_.
### dist-git
Package sources in dist-git are composed from the _selinux-policy_ repository snapshot tarball, _container-selinux_ policy files snapshot, the _macro-expander_ script snapshot, and from other config files.
