Package update notes

2.36

2.36 is the first release with AppArmor enabled by default on Arch.

If you do not have AppArmor enabled at boot there should be no functional changes visible.

If you wish to use snaps with Apparmor, first make sure that Apparmor is enabled during boot, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AppArmor for details. After upgrading the package, you need to do the following steps:

  • Reload the profiles: systemctl restart apparmor.service
  • Restart snapd: systemctl restart snapd.service
  • Load profiles for snaps: systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
2.62

Since 2.62 snapd generated additional files describing the sandbox. The snapd service needs to be restarted after the update for snaps to continue working (unless the system is rebooted after the update, in which case no additional steps are needed). To restart, run systemctl restart snapd.service

2.70

Snapd 2.70 drops setuid permissions on /usr/lib/snapd/snap-confine in favor of explicit file capabilities. After an upgrade to 2.70, the users are prompted to restart the apparmor.service otherwise attempts to run snaps will error with cannot set capabilities message.

@bboozzoo, this one builds fine, thank you!

Included a patch from upstream, the package should build fine with gcc 8.x now.

triple confirm @Janzu report - same syntax error while building, yaourt twice and pacman-helper once. @bboozzoo – thanks for noting this.

@Janzu thanks for reporting this. A fix is in the works right here: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/5138 and we should be able to merge it soon. Once in master, it will be cherry-picked to the upcoming 2.32.7 release and I'll also pick it up for 2.32.6-2.

@bboozzoo thanks for clarification. Could you update arch wiki to reflect this change?

@lockheed snap.refresh.timer has been removed in favor of an internal mechanism of snapd. It can be controlled by setting refresh.timer, eg. snap set core refresh.timer=0:00-24:00/4. See https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/system-options/87 for more details on how to set refresh.timer. snap refresh --time shows last/next refresh times.

FWIW the syntax is more expressive and as we learned people try to do pretty crazy things with refresh times. Also, snap.refresh.timer was also acting as a workaround for bad (or nonexistent) support for monotonic timers in Go, what could cause the refresh to not happen at all (hence the separate, systemd-driven, timer which would kick the refresh anyway).

lockheed commented on 2018-04-11 20:24 (UTC)

Why is there no snapd.refresh.timer in this package?

systemctl start snapd.refresh.timer

Failed to start snapd.refresh.timer: Unit snapd.refresh.timer not found.

@cmsigler, you are right that these files should be removed. Upstream includes a script to clean up the snapd files, but this does not include the udev rules. Since these rules are generated on the fly (one per snap), it is also not possible to include them in the package. For now I just decided to remove them manually in snapd.install.

cmsigler commented on 2018-03-21 15:47 (UTC)

Hi,

I hope these aren't stupid questions.

A few days ago I installed snapd from AUR and tried it. The snaps I installed didn't work and that's fine, no complaint as it was purely an experiment. I removed snapd. This left behind one file I found today -- `/etc/udev/rules.d/70-snap.core.rules'. This is some kind of USB modem manager file(?). Please see:

https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/master/interfaces/builtin/modem_manager.go

1.) The package itself seems to generate this file? Does that mean it's not intended to go in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/ ? Or should it? 2.) Is it possible to have the package manager clean up this file upon removal?

Just something I noticed. The answer to both may be "no." :) HTH and thank you.
