Re: [PATCH RFC] security: tomoyo: Add default builtin-policy.h for default policy

[Tetsuo Handa]

Hello, Michal and Masahiro. What do you think on this proposal?

I guess that .gitignore needs to keep builtin-policy.h included, or
"git diff" will complain if builtin-policy.h was rebuilt due to
changes in policy/*.conf files.

Regarding having default security/tomoyo/builtin-policy.h , is there
a pitfall with modification time of security/tomoyo/builtin-policy.h
and files involved in generating security/tomoyo/builtin-policy.h ?
