Too bad nobody filed a bug saying "aa-logprof doesn't support signal log 
events" ;-)

I'm quite sure SignalRule doesn't introduce regressions, so there  is no 
need to fix any regressions *eg*

That said - I just sent the next patch series for ptrace rule support, 
which would be the next thing to backport - or not ;-)

AFAIK Ubuntu is the only distribution with a kernel that supports signal 
and ptrace rules, and the chances Ubuntu will provide an update to 
2.10.1 for Ubuntu <= 15.x seem to be quite low [1]. This means there's 
no real-world benefit by adding SignalRule or PtraceRule to 2.10.x. 

Therefore I'll keep SignalRule and PtraceRule in trunk only.
(We can always backport the patches to 2.10.x if there is a real need.)


Regards,

Christian Boltz

[1] before doing that, updating the releases that come with 2.9.x to the 
    to-be-released 2.9.3 would be the more important thing to do ;-)
