Hi Christian,
Hello,
large parts of the YaST2 AppArmor module were removed in openSUSE 13.1.
Nevertheless, a quick grep on the source shows that it's still using the Immunix::* perl modules a lot. Are those code sections active, or do they contain disabled / commented out / unused code?
Yes, it is still used. Apparmor yast module was written by immunix itself and in quite strange way, where almost all logic is in agents which is written in perl. And these agents communicate with UI.
The reason why I'm asking: upstream AppArmor is switching to python (for the tools like aa-logprof etc.), which also means the perl modules won't see too much maintenance ;-)
Well, that is bad as we currently do not have resources to adapt it to python. But if there is volunteer I can explain how it works and what needs to be done. Also some UI polishing would be great.
I've worked on the Python version of tools (with lots of help from Christian and other AppArmor devs) and we've been thinking about getting the YaST UI with the new tools. I would love to adapt the code-base for use with new tools and it would be great if you could help in any way (Specially on how and where do I get started ;-) ). Regards, Kshitij Gupta
Therefore it would be good to know if the Immunix::* perl modules are still needed by YaST.
yes, see above
Josef
