See <a href="index.php?page=download">download</a> for download
|
|
information. Details of this release are part of the <a href="html/Changelog.txt">changelog</a>. This release
|
|
focused on infrastructure, organization, and initial design rather than
|
|
comprehensive policy coverage or security improvements. Currently only the
|
|
strict policy is supported, with targeted policy support planned for the future.
|
|
<br> <strong>Warning</strong>:This is a prototype release, not meant to be used
|
|
on real systems. It is targeted towards developers, to show the direction of
|
|
the policy's development and to solicit feedback.

<h2>Policy Conversion</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This phase of reference policy development involves the conversion of policies
|
|
from the example strict policy. We have been using the Fedora strict policy
|
|
version 1.23.2-1 as a baseline for policy conversion, which is available
|
|
on the <a href="index.php?page=download">download</a> page. Then after these policies
|
|
are added to reference policy, it can be updated to be in line with current
|
|
versions of the NSA example policy. For those who wish to contribute, here
|
|
is a listing of modules which need to be converted:
