** Also affects: libseccomp (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Summary changed:

- support 'complain mode' for developer mode with snaps
+ implement 'complain mode' in seccomp for developer mode with snaps

** Description changed:

  A requirement for snappy is that a snap may be placed in developer mode
  which will put the security sandbox in complain mode such that
  violations against policy are logged, but permitted. In this manner
  learning tools can be written to parse the logs, etc and make developing
  on snappy easier.
  
  Unfortunately with seccomp only SCMP_ACT_KILL logs to dmesg and while we
  can set complain mode to permit all calls, they are not logged at this
  time. I've discussed this with upstream and we are working together on
  the approach. This may require a kernel patch and an update to
  libseccomp, to filing this bug for now as a placeholder and we'll add
  other tasks as necessary.
+ 
+ UPDATE: ubuntu-core-launcher now supports the '@complain' directive that
+ is a synonym for '@unrestricted' so people can at least turn on
+ developer mode and not be blocked by seccomp. Proper complain mode for
+ seccomp needs to still be implemented (this bug).
