✨ selinux-policy-upgrade — bestie's guide ✨

okay so real talk: this is selinux-policy-upgrade, and it lives in the System Manager's Manual section (that's section 8, for the sysadmin girlies 💅). It's a Debian thing, it's about SELinux policy modules, and honestly? It's a one-trick pony and the trick is iconic. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

selinux-policy-upgrade — upgrade the modules in the SE Linux policy database from a policy package 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

selinux-policy-upgrade

no flags. no args. no drama. she just does the thing. ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea, bestie 🫖 — this command will upgrade all policy modules (and yes, that includes the base modules too, the way it should) for to the versions that are under /usr/share/selinux/SELINUXTYPE.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it goes and grabs the newer module versions sitting in /usr/share/selinux/SELINUXTYPE and upgrades your policy database to match. slay 🌈

ngl the original sentence is a little cunty grammar-wise but the meaning is chef's kiss: all policy modules, base modules included, get upgraded to the versions under /usr/share/selinux/SELINUXTYPE. 💯
