This package provides the static libraries and header files needed for developing SELinux applications. Security-enhanced Linux is a patch of the Linux kernel and a number of utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to add mandatory access controls to Linux. The Security-enhanced Linux kernel contains new architectural components originally developed to improve the security of the Flask operating system. These architectural components provide general support for the enforcement of many kinds of mandatory access control policies, including those based on the concepts of Type Enforcement, Role-based Access Control, and Multi-level Security.

Laurent Bigonville
- New upstream release
- Bump libsepol1-dev build-dependency to >= 2.9 to match the release
- debian/ruby.mk: Do not override RUBYLIBS anymore, upstream build system seems to do the right thing now
- debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 4.3.0 (no further changes)
- debian/watch: Adjust the URL
- debian/selinux-utils.install: Install manpages in Russian
- debian/libselinux1.symbols: Add new exported symbol
- debian/patches/python_nodefs.patch: Do not FTBFS if we have missing symbols because we are not linking against the libpython
