Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

I noticed the tools moved from /usr/bin to /usr/sbin which broke the

RHEL4 as well as FC4?
Sorry, who changed this?  Upstream libselinux still installs the
utilities to /usr/bin (by default, unless you override the BINDIR
definition).



Yes they will stay in /usr/sbin. We changed the location, as I felt these tools were not to be used by non admins.
They will be there in all future versions of  RHEL and FC.

So much for the stated policy of following upstream as much as possible.

If it is an important change why not get upstream to change it? It appears that every time someone outside of Red Hat wants a change the
standard answer is to get it changed upstream. Why is this different?
It is not like Fedora will stop working without it. :-)

I actually agree with the change, but I am just trying to understand
what the policy really is?
We screwed up, we should have sent the patch to upstream, but were rushing to get things
cleaned up and done before a RHEL 4 Freeze.

Regards,

Tom
