Whiteboard

NOTE: jdstrand> separate profile for firefox/plugin-container is not easily done because all plugins run under this binary and we can't easily confine this binary. We could use abstractions like with firefox. It is possible to ship a disabled by default profile in the firefox package that people can opt into. Patches welcome.

From etherpad:
= Acceptance Criteria =
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEngineering/12.04/UpstreamDevelopment
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEngineering/12.04/UpstreamDevelopment/ProjectTracking
[sbeattie] Get upstream Jenkins and ppa builds working again
 * existing infrastructure was going to PPAs at https://launchpad.net/~apparmor-upload
[jdstrand] Setup Daily build to ppa for trunk and later for the stable branches
= Policy =
- Start shipping more disabled profiles like firefox
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Roadmap#AppArmor_Confinement
shipping default disabled profiles:
 * rsyslog (add to server documentation too) - yes
 * dovecot (add to server docs) - yes
 * squid (add to server docs /srv/squid (for cache) (tunable?)) - yes
 * thunderbird - probably not this for this cycle
 * evolution - probably not for this
 * smbd (what has Christian been doing with this?) (nmbd we can turn on, winbind?)
  * he has a tool for this. approach Christian to maybe push upstream
 * others?
   * nut? (how to deal with the bagazillion drivers?)
new profiles:
 * plugin-container - explore browser plugin container - maybe ship as child profile in firefox
 * auditd (experiment with filters to make sure we have the right capabilities)
 * gwibber? (+gwibber-service backend?) -[jdstrand/sbeattie] explore more
shipping default enabled profiles:
 * nmbd (yes)
can we protect cups filters/etc that we ship? - can't test them all.
= Packaging =
* [jdstrand] dh_apparmor - get into debian?
* [allison] give packaging requirements
* [jdstrand] take those packaging requirements and create documentation on how to use the tool and add the resulting profile to the packaging
 * get all of apparmor into main - yes todo
    - python - needs to be built for multiple versions, 2.6, 2.7, ...
    - ruby, profiles, aa_notify, etc.
 * apparmor initscript vs. upstart
 * hook up apparmor to apport when alert messages appear
