Hi,

With the new SELinux userspace 2.4, the policy store has moved from
/etc/selinux/<policy_name> to /var/lib/selinux/<policy_name> (the format
of the store has also changed).

The packages from the refpolicy (selinux-policy-default and
selinux-policy-mls) should be fixed to automatically migrate the the new
store (ATM this still need to be done, see #805492)

We should probably document how to do the migration for the policies
maintained directly by the users and quickly explain the differences.

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville

I wrote a short piece on it, recommending the script from semanage-utils.
