Please allow `microceph` slot on `microceph` snap

Hello,

We’re getting a publication failure on microceph because of the microceph slot that we’re now using.


interface 'microceph' not found in base declaration declaration-snap-v2_app_slot_known (daemon, microceph)
unknown slots interface name reference 'microceph' lint-snap-v2_app_slots_plug_reference (daemon, microceph)

This slot has been added to snapd a few weeks ago and is perfectly functional in edge (and possibly beta/candidate too). The slot was clearly implemented with the intention of microceph using it and is a requirement for our current microcloud work.

Thanks for the heads-up @stgraber - the review-tools maintains it’s own copy of the snapd base declaration which needs to be updated manually - I have just done this and tagged a new release. @roadmr any chance we could deploy the latest review-tools to the store? Thanks.

For now I have manually approved the existing revisions.

I’ll update review-tools with this.

Thank you @roadmr :slight_smile:

root@demo01:~# snap install microceph
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Mount snap "microceph" (25) (installation not allowed by "microceph" slot rule of interface "microceph")

@alexmurray @roadmr is something wrong with the store assertion on those revs that’s preventing it from installing?

#8

Note that I have now reverted that revision, so if you want to hit the issue, you’ll need snap install microceph --edge. Also note that you need the edge version of snapd at this time to have the microceph interface support in the first place.

#9

Heh okay I see - we also need a store declaration for the microceph snap to slot the microceph slot. +1 from me for this as the purpose of this slot is to exist for the microceph snap. I’ll proactively grant this now but if other reviewers disagree, please speak up.

#10

This is done now - and I can confirm installing microceph from edge (with snapd from edge) works as expected. Apologies for the issues.

#11

review-tools in the store is updated to the latest (yesterday’s) version and should now grok the microceph interface.
