We are working on the rt-tests snap based on the rt-tests Debian package, intended for use in Ubuntu Core systems.
The rt-tests is a suite of tools that contains a set of programs designed to test the capabilities of a real-time system.
One of the programs, the pmqtest, needs to access mq_open syscall, and for that, access to posix-mq interface.
We would like to request permission from the @review-team to declare a self connected slot to posix-mq interface as it’s done here.
Given the purpose of the snap, +1 for enabling these for the rt-tests. Similarly to this topic, it’d be good if the snap name was also in the slot as the namespace for this interface is shared as well.
Good point! Slot name changed to rt-tests-posix-mq, thank you.
Hi @LOCNNIL
This request looks reasonable. Do you need auto-connection or install + manual connection would be sufficient for this use case?
Thanks
I believe no connection (manual/auto) is required because this is just a standalone slot definition.
As @farshidtz mentioned, the auto-connection isn’t needed. I’ve tested the application without doing the manual connection, and seems that by just having the slot declared is enough to have the posix-mq access.
Then +1 from for granting rt-test installation with a posix-mq slot.
+2 for, 0 against, granting rt-test installation with a posix-mq slot. The publisher is vetted. This is now live
