snapd REST API documentation

Hi all, I've spent some time updating the snapd REST API documentation for snapd [1]. It should be now pretty comprehensive. If you've looked at these docs in the past and found information missing, please look again. (Of course, if you're directly using this API please consider the Go library

Re: snap connect myapp:camera out-of-the-box

Okay, agreed on all points. The near-to-medium term plan is to have snaps able to request access to particular interfaces on demand. We have a good pipeline to implement this already. We just need to connect the dots. On Tue, Feb 21, 2017 at 2:12 PM, Jamie Strandboge

Re: snap connect myapp:camera out-of-the-box

Actually, we do have a mechanism that enables the automatic connections in those cases, and we can enable it in sensible cases, even for the camera. The question we should ask here is this: what is the snap purpose? Is it clear from the snap name and description that this is using a camera? If

Re: the ppp interface (and general renaming/transitioning of interfaces)

Hi, Just about this ppp interface. I would like to use it from the snap I have developed myself. So how to I invoke it ? At the moment I am calling the command line pppd from my snap java code. However I think I should be doing something different to invoke ppp from within the core snap ? I am

network namespaces

Are network namespaces supported in snaps? In my RaspberryPi3 I have a snap which has been installed with --devmode. Inside the snap I have exposed the command 'bash'. I exec that bash as root. Then I try to create a network namespace. It fails. $ sudo myapp.bash # ip netns add ns0
