[CentOS-devel] Docker problems with centos 6 image based on libselinux.

[Chris St. Pierre]

If we're going to have a hackish approach regardless, is this something we
could shoehorn into the image build process?  I don't know much about the
CentOS build infrastructure, but in Fedora we could do something like:

* Have the patch provided and an updated specfile in the git repo with the
kickstart and other image metadata;
* At the start of the build, fetch the upstream libselinux sources and
build an SRPM;
* Send that SRPM to koji to be built into a real RPM;
* Fetch the resulting RPM and install it into the image, either with the
kickstart or with the Dockerfile we ship to stackbrew.

We could probably even use Koji for EPEL-6 to do this, depending on how
flexible the CentOS build infrastructure is.  It's terrible and hackish and
I hate it, but if it'll get us through until CentOS 6.6 (and will require
less effort than other approaches), I say let's do it.

Or, could we use COPR to create a repo for the updated package?  Again,
stepping outside the CentOS infrastructure proper, but we're all owned by
the same corporate overlord^W^W^W^W^W^W friends here.
