Why did you snip the rest of my comment about the manpages?  Or was that 
in a subsequent message since this seems to be bouncing back and forth 
between private mail and the list?  I don't know and this has gone on 
long enough with nothing but shouting and handwaving which is bound to 
upset the rest of the readers of this list.

I stated precisely what was wrong with those manpages and I see no reason 
not to say it out loud.  Docs don't get fixed if we are not allowed to 
fault them and those are damned sure faulty.

To be precise, since this is going back to the list now, I said words to 
the effect of "where are the definitions of all the UPPERCASE named 
variables used within the -this and -that options"

This is in reference to the chcon manpage folks, but they (selinux related 
manpages) are all equally guilty of hiding the information that would 
make them usable without all this absolutely useless badmouthing of 
selinux in public.

They (the definitions of those vars shown in UPPERCASE) don't exist in 
those manpages and no amount of ignoring that fact is ever going to make 
it right.

So enough already, fix the selinux related manpages so WE, the users, can 
fix our own stumbles.  It really, really is that simple.

As for your comment re the src, I turned on a few fedora src links in my 
yum.repos.d and never did find the srcs for selinux.  Just one of the 
many reasons I came to the conclusion that I shouldn't be running 
something that is to me, just another frustration creating hassle.
