| 62 | ------------------ |
| 63 | |
| 64 | This package contains the VPP Custom SELinux Policy. It is only generated for |

| 66 | this package, so it will always be installed. It will not enable SELinux on |
| 67 | the system. It will install a Custom VPP SELinux policy that will be used if |
| 68 | SELinux is enabled at any time. |
