Agreed, I don't think it's appropriate to call setsebool. What would be
nice is to print a warning if SELinux is enforcing (maybe permissive,
too) and those booleans aren't set compatibly for mythweb.

I didn't know if Fedora had packaging guidelines regarding SELinux, or
how tricky it would be to manage installation differences between
systems where SELinux is enforcing / permissive / disabled / not
available at all (although maybe the last is not a reasonable Fedora
scenario?)

Thanks for your packaging work!
