Prior to rename(2)'ing the final selinux policy files into place, fsync(2) them to ensure the contents will be fully written prior to rename. While we are here, also fix checking of write(2) to detect short writes and treat them as an error. This code could be more generally improved but keeping to the minimal changes required to fix this bug.

Installation
SELinux libraries and tools are packaged in several Linux distributions:
- Alpine Linux (https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/testing/x86/policycoreutils)
- Arch Linux User Repository (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/policycoreutils/)
- Buildroot (https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/package/policycoreutils)
- Debian and Ubuntu (https://packages.debian.org/sid/policycoreutils)
- Gentoo (https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-apps/policycoreutils)
- RHEL and Fedora (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/policycoreutils)
- Yocto Project (http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-selinux/tree/recipes-security/selinux)
- and many more (https://repology.org/project/policycoreutils/versions)
Building and testing
Build dependencies on Fedora:
# For C libraries and programs
dnf install \
audit-libs-devel \
bison \
bzip2-devel \
CUnit-devel \
diffutils \
flex \
gcc \
gettext \
glib2-devel \
make \
libcap-devel \
libcap-ng-devel \

pcre-devel \
xmlto
# For Python and Ruby bindings
dnf install \

# For C libraries and programs
apt-get install --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests \

To build and install everything under a private directory, run:
make clean distclean
make DESTDIR=~/obj install install-rubywrap install-pywrap
On Debian PYTHON_SETUP_ARGS=--install-layout=deb needs to be set when installing the python wrappers in order to create the correct python directory structure.
To run tests with the built libraries and programs, several paths (relative to $DESTDIR) need to be added to variables $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, $PATH and $PYTHONPATH.
This can be done using ./scripts/env_use_destdir:
DESTDIR=~/obj ./scripts/env_use_destdir make test
Some tests require the reference policy to be installed (for example in python/sepolgen).
In order to run these ones, instructions similar to the ones in section install of ./.travis.yml can be executed.
To install as the default system libraries and binaries (overwriting any previously installed ones - dangerous!), on x86_64, run:
make LIBDIR=/usr/lib64 SHLIBDIR=/lib64 install install-pywrap relabel
or on x86 (32-bit), run:
make install install-pywrap relabel
This may render your system unusable if the upstream SELinux userspace lacks library functions or other dependencies relied upon by your distribution. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
macOS
To install libsepol on macOS (mainly for policy analysis):
cd libsepol; make PREFIX=/usr/local install
This requires GNU coreutils:
brew install coreutils
