This merge is useful because it brings us much closer to the Debian
package. Some notable changes with the new package:
- Adds autopkgtests for dbus
+ Previously disabled Build-Depends used for testing are now enabled
- A new dbus-run-session program that allows one to start a new session
and run a program in that session
- Built against libaudit, so system bus AppArmor denials will go to the
audit log if auditd is installed and running
+ Otherwise, all AppArmor denials will continue going to the syslog
+ All session bus denials will continue to go to the syslog due to
the session bus not having sufficient privs to write to the audit
log
- There's a new org.freedesktop.DBus.GetConnectionCredentials bus
method that provides a single call to get all of the credentials for
a connection.
- I refreshed the AppArmor mediation patches using the v3 patches from
the upstream bug
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75113
+ I think these are fairly close to going in upstream so I hope we
won't have to carry them much longer
+ These patches include support for sticking the AppArmor confinement
context in the return value of
org.freedesktop.DBus.GetConnectionCredentials
- The upstream NEWS file has all of the gory details
+ http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/NEWS
I've tested this debdiff in the following ways:
- Running QRT's test-dbus.py script in a clean Utopic amd64 VM
- Running the new autopkgtests in a clean Utopic amd64 schroot
- Manual exploratory testing in a clean Utopic amd64 VM
