[yast-devel] yast2-apparmor
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? 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 ;-) Therefore it would be good to know if the Immunix::* perl modules are still needed by YaST.

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.

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.

yes, see above Josef

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

Great to know it. At first I recommend quick introduction on code organization - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:YaST:_Code_Organization so you know where to find various stuff. Tricky part is that appamor modul was written by immunix and is not common. The most of its functionality lies in agent itself ( so agent aren't simple shell runner or binding to library, but contain a lot of logic ). So it depends on you if you want to start from top ( then start with clients - https://github.com/yast/yast-apparmor/blob/master/src/clients/apparmor.rb ) or from backend ( then start with agents in https://github.com/yast/yast-apparmor/tree/master/src/servers_non_y2 ). I am willing to help you as I can. You can write here or if you see me on IRC, just ask there. Josef P.S. one inspiration can be yast2-cluster which also use agents in python - https://github.com/yast/yast-cluster/blob/master/src/servers_non_y2/ag_opena...
