I just sent uprev patches for:

libcap-ng 0.7.3 -> 0.7.7
python-ipy 0.81 -> 0.83

The remaining list that need to be updated:

selinux:
   - libsemanage     2.3     2.4
   - sepolgen     1.2.1     1.2.2
   - checkpolicy     2.3     2.4
   - libselinux     2.3     2.4
   - libsepol     2.3     2.4
   - policycoreutils     2.3     2.4


Thanks
Wenzong
