Sorry about that, I haven't merged it for a couple of reasons, but I
should have followed up before now on it.  It doesn't appear to be against
the currnet head of tree, so I'd suggest a quick rebase on your part and
resend if you think it is still relevant.

At a more basic level, though, I don't know who or how many projects are
intending to use meta-selinux without PAM.  The layer documentation does
make it clear we expect PAM to always be present:

 45 1.2 - How does this layer do to enable SELinux features?
 46
 47 To enable SELinux features, this layers has done these works:
 48
 49    * new DISTRO_FEATURES "selinux" defined
 50    * new DISTRO "poky-selinux" defined, with DISTRO_FEATURES += "pam selinux"
 51    * config file for Linux kernel to enable SELinux
 52    * recipes for SELinux userland libraries and tools
 53    * package group (packagegroup-core-selinux) for SELinux userland packages
 54    * bbappends for SELinux related recipes to build with SELinux enabled
 55    * recipes for SELinux policy modified from refpolicy
 
The documentation is certainly in need of some updating, but I think the
majority of our users (if not all) are including PAM in their projects.  I
would be interested to hear about your PAM-less meta-selinux project if
you can share some details.

It is certainly arguable whether the config file should be dumped in place
as it is being today, but I do think it's functioning as intended right
now.  Shifting the PAM sshd configuration to a different directory is fine
with me, I don't have any particular love of everything in one files/
directory, but I also don't have any strong aversion to it until it
becomes an obvious problem (eg. two separate files that should have the
same name and different purposes, such as something to be installed in
/etc/defaults/ and /etc/X11/, maybe).

I hope that clears things up a bit.  Thanks.

-Joe.
