OK, that sounds like it will work.

sepgsql hasn't worked on RHEL6 in a long time, if ever; it requires
a newer version of libselinux than what ships in RHEL6. So I'm not
concerned about that. We do need to worry about RHEL7, and whatever
is the oldest version of Fedora that is running the sepgsql tests
in the buildfarm.
