libselinux and libsepol rebuilt for lenny-bpo
Hello,
we traced a problem at work involving libselinux1 on lenny: in case
the number of mounts is huge, and even in case selinux is disabled,
every command on the machine is very slow due to libselinux checking
/proc/mounts every time (it's linked in very basic commands, and in
its init code there's the check).
The solution is to backport libselinux from squeeze to lenny, because
that problem was "fixed" in version 2.0.85-1 (checking
/proc/filesystems for the presence of any 'selinuxfs' and only in that
case scan /proc/mounts).
I don't have time and skill to support libselinux (and the
build-depends libsepol) in lenny-bpo, but I'm mentioning here the
existence of a repo at [1] where you can get the bpo'd version and
also upload them to bpo (if you will to maintain them).
