I summarized it in another bug nicely (I think), quoting it here to be on the main bug as well:
This had two phases with both having had their own issues: Phase I: ~2013-2016: the libvirt-<uuid> stayed around and could be used for such overrides, but they cluttered the file system and overview was lost, therefore a cron daemon was established to clean files of currently undefined domains (which still could kill overrides that people wanted to stay). Override: Was too unreliable to rely on it Phase II: 2017-now the cleaning became part of libvirt itself due to [1]. This will immediately remove the file and unload profiles, keeping the config dir clean but even removed unreliable override capability we had. Override: doesn't work at all Phase III: future as planned in this bug. It is intended to use the new "include if available" feature of apparmor to allow providing non-cleaned overrides to just those guests that you want/need. That would mean on most installations there would be no extra config clutter at all. On others where it is needed they can be used for overrides. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1745114 Title: Please add guest uuid and guest-generic local include files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1745114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
