Thomas,

Clayton and I have been going back and forth on how best to do this, as 
the next set of patch that we want to release provides information on 
SELinux.
You had provided feedback to Clayton on options for providing this 
information
and I think it was agreed upon that the manual will be the best place for 
this. 
Is this correct?

I believe the best way to answer to questions above about is add to the 
manual.
As this way that we won't have to necessarily duplicate work (and 
motivates us
to create the documentation). So hopefully by the middle of the week next 
week
we can submit some documentation.

Where would you like this documentation placed? Also how does one go about 
adding
to the manual (I can't seem to find anything in the manual)? Or do we want 
to place
this information on the buildroot wiki?
