-Security-enhanced Linux is a feature of the Linux(R) kernel and a
-number of utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to
-add mandatory access controls to Linux.  The Security-enhanced Linux
-kernel contains new architectural components originally developed to
-improve the security of the Flask operating system. These architectural
-components provide general support for the enforcement of many kinds of
-mandatory access control policies, including those based on the
-concepts of Type Enforcement(R), Role-based Access Control, and
-Multi-level Security.
+checkpolicy is the SELinux policy compiler. It uses libsepol to
+generate the binary policy.
 
-This package contains checkpolicy, the SELinux policy compiler. Only
-required for building policies.
+(Security-enhanced Linux is a feature of the kernel and some
+utilities that implement mandatory access control policies, such as
+Type Enforcement, Role-based Access Control and Multi-Level
+Security.)
