Request auto-connection for system-files in "chisel"

  • name: chisel
  • description: Chisel is a software tool for carving and cutting Debian packages!
  • snapcraft: chisel/snap/snapcraft.yaml at main · canonical/chisel · GitHub
  • upstream: GitHub - canonical/chisel
  • upstream-relation: main contributors
  • interfaces:
    • system-files:
      • request-type: auto-connection
      • reasoning: when slicing packages from the Ubuntu Pro archives, Chisel uses the underlying Pro host’s APT credentials to authenticate with the Ubuntu Pro archives.

Whilst this access expose sensitive information, it seems to be the needed for the snap functionality. Thus, +1 from me for granting chisel the requested system-files interface. It may me also good to rename the interface from pro-credentials to etc-apt-auth-conf-d following the our usual naming convention.

snapcraft.yaml fragment:

plugs:
  pro-credentials:
    interface: system-files
    read:
      - /etc/apt/auth.conf.d
      - /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/90ubuntu-advantage
