Installation fails on *BSD

[bugQ]

Installation fails on any BSD because apparently the redmine_git_hosting:install_scripts task will use SELinux no matter what (contrary to the readme).

[Generating and installing redmine_git_hosting shell scripts:
find: -regextype: unknown option
rake aborted!
Error: ROOT_PATTERN does not match any directories!
/home/redmine/plugins/redmine_git_hosting/lib/tasks/selinux.rake:325:in `redmine_roots'
/home/redmine/plugins/redmine_git_hosting/lib/tasks/selinux.rake:114:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
/home/redmine/plugins/redmine_git_hosting/lib/tasks/selinux.rake:134:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
/home/redmine/plugins/redmine_git_hosting/lib/tasks/redmine_git_hosting.rake:100:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
Tasks: TOP => selinux:redmine_git_hosting:across_roots(See full trace by running task with --trace)

In this case, the rake task fails because of a non-standard find option, but even if I were to bypass this issue, I suspect many more would pop up simply because my NetBSD server is...well...BSD.

Is there a reason that SELinux is absolutely required for installation?

[bugQ]

Oh, my bad. Examining the rake files more closely, I see that selinux.rake is used only for the purpose of installing scripts, not the actual SELinux configuration. However, it still must be patched to use -E instead of -regextype posix-extended on BSD-like platforms (including Mac OS X). Perhaps there is a cross-platform solution, or perhaps something more elegant than all of the ugly regex hacks happening in selinux.rake.

Hi there!
Thanks for your feedback!

No, SELinux is optional. If you don't use it, you don't need to run rake scripts at all.
