Why would we want to add support for such non-free software? That seems likely to get us more uncontrolled growth in .fc entries and less benefit than most things that we might do, particularly as they have an "installer" rather than using .deb or .rpm. Why not just write a blog post about how the user can run chcon after installation and also describe how Altera could fix their build environment? -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
