Public bug reported:
The following snap.yaml:
name: network-manager
...
apps:
NetworkManager:
...
results in the following:
Apr 15 14:09:02 localhost.localdomain ubuntu-core-launcher[1180]: appname
snap.network-manager.NetworkManager not allowed
This is because verify_appname() in src/main.c does not allow upper case
letters. This is easy enough to fix but then I noticed that:
1. docs/meta.md is silent on the issue of what is allowed for the keys in the
apps dictionary (app names) of the snap.yaml
2. validate.go is not checking the contents of the key name in the apps
dictionary
Looking at 15.04, I see this regex that applies to 'name':
`^[A-Za-z0-9/. _#:-]*$` but this is too lenient for the app name for
several reasons (so 15.04 was buggy). 16.04 uses this same regex for
validating things in apps[key], but neglects to verify 'key' itself.
I suggest we:
1. update snapd to use "^[a-zA-Z](?:-?[a-zA-Z0-9])*$" (ie, the same as snap
name but allow upper-case)
2. adjust docs/meta.md accordingly
3. adjust ubuntu-core-launcher accordingly
