Whiteboard

Pythonize simple apparmor tools (aa-enforce, aa-disable, aa-complain)
- aa-enforce- strip out flags and remove symlink
- aa-disable - just use the symlink
- aa-complain may not be so low hanging. do symlink as first pass and then maybe strip out stuff
LXC
shouldn't need extra flags - workarounds sufficient for now, but need to be fixed by 13.04 or so
stacking profiles is a high priority (lot of work, may not hit for 12.10)
overlayfs bug regarding private namespace (related to disconnected paths and private namespace)
hallyn wants to prevent a udevadm trigger
- netlink
- netlink second layer
- will need to check the policy to see if it will be blocked and if so test the policy before uploading
DBus
- porting work getting there
- interface that we can upstream for dbus to know what is happen
- get dbus work into ppa (dbus patches are still against 1.4, but patches based on upstream feedback)
- once it is in a ppa, send upstream for review
- policy language needs to be refined
Cgroups
- early protoype, not for 12.10
Network mediation
-
Profiles repository
- existing apparmor-profiles project is bottlenecked on apparmor mailing list/merge request
- could add a 'community/' directory to help
- userspace tools are still not suggesting things
- could adjust the tools to use bzr to suggest and publish to private branch and perform a merge request
