PassengerHelperAgentused bymod_passengerandnginx-passengerhas been moved to its own SELinux domain, and thehttpd_use_psboolean has been removed. It has always bothered me that installing mod_passenger could open up/bin/psto otherhttpd_tcode (likemod_php&mod_perlfor example). This solution much better separates the concerns. (Thanks to Darrell Fuhriman for doing the research and prodding me into implementing the correct solution!) mod_passengerandnginx-passengerfiles are now correctly labeled after install. (Thanks to Viliam Pucik for this patch!)- A few of the helper scripts in
passenger-standalonewere being installed with the wrong permissions. This has been corrected. - The packages should now build cleanly on Amazon Linux AMI. (Thanks to Jordi for the heads-up!)
