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...

Just FYI, selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx is the upstream SELinux mailing list.
List info is at http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/info/list.cfm.
fedora-selinux-list is fine too, particularly for Fedora-specific items,
but since your patch was against the sourceforge CVS, it was more likely
suited to the main list.

Various SELinux information resources are listed at
http://selinux.sf.net/resources.php3.

Thanks for working on this, as it would definitely be a win to have the
upstream maintainers of the various software packages helping to
maintain the corresponding policy.

One thing to be aware of is that the current upstream example policy is
in process of being obsoleted by the "reference policy"; see 
http://serefpolicy.sourceforge.net/

Rawhide should soon be moving to using the reference policy as its
baseline; some experimental packages have been built over at:
ftp://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/refpolicy/

This also introduces the use of the binary/loadable policy module
support that is already in rawhide.  This should ultimately allow cups
policy to be provided by a separate package from the base policy,
although that decomposition may not happen until later (e.g. after FC5).
Initially, the current policy may just be built as a single monolothic
policy module and the module support may just be used for third party
packages that are not part of the base Fedora.
