2014-09-19 19:05:18 Jamie Strandboge description Right now, if given --cache-loc the parser will see if there is a cache file. If there isn't and --write-cache is used, the parser will compile the policy and put the binary cache in --cache-loc (fine). If there is a cache file, it will load the cache file (also fine). If the cache file is corrupt, the policy is not loaded into the kernel. Not loading the policy into the kernel may be fine for certain environments, but there should be an option on if the cache file is corrupt, to delete it, recompile the policy and write out a new cache file. This would be very worthwhile for Ubuntu's cache loading since there is no way to recover from a bad cache file without user intervention.

Setting to 'High' with tags to indicate that we want to include this on shipping devices but that it can be delivered as OTA.
