Good to know someone cares about apparmor and the apparmor yast modules ;-)
(if you care enough, feel free to take bug 531512 *eg*)
Seriously: Reports.pm and aa-eventd are deprecated upstream (that's why I
didn't package them), and seem to be broken as in "they won't see most log
messages". Therefore it doesn't really make sense to re-add it IMHO.
Some sniplets from discussing this with the upstream developers:
[19:55] <sbeattie> yeah, aa-eventd hasn't had any attention in at least 4
years, and is thus considered deprecated by jjohansen and I.
[21:10] <jjohansen> cboltz: iirc it sort of works but will miss several/most
log entires.
[21:11] <jjohansen> the YaST module only requires it because it has a button to
turn it on and configure it, so I would say the way to go is disable it
[21:11] <jjohansen> at the YaST module
[21:13] <jjohansen> in fact I think aa-notify could replace aa-eventd (just not
this release)
[21:15] <cboltz> another question: can I expect Reports.pm to work?
[21:16] <jjohansen> cboltz: hrmm I think it has all the same problems as
aa-eventd
[21:16] <jjohansen> The big problem was, when these where developed, they where
somewhat siloed and the developer did copy and paste coding :/
[21:18] <jjohansen> cboltz: we are slowly trying to put together an api to make
things like the YaST module easier
[21:19] <jjohansen> at some point it will need to be rewritten, /me plans to
have a gui genprof/logprof that YaST would launch
I can re-add Reports.pm and aa-eventd to the package if you really want, but
I'm afraid that this won't magically solve all problems ;-)
The better solution is probably to fix it on the YaST side - even if this means
that you just disable the features related to aa-eventd and Reports.pm for now.
What's your opinion on this?
(If you agree to disable/fix it on the YaST side, I'll of course remove the
aa-eventd initscript from the package.)
