2016-11-30 15:15:19 Michael Terry description In the recipe used for unity8 snaps [1], we specify the stable-phone-overlay PPA as a source archive. And much like the Touch image builders, we'd like to be able to pin it above the base xenial archive. Some packages from the overlay get overridden by xenial-updates [2]. This causes subtle bugs and subtle differences based on whether a developer builds locally with a pin vs the launchpad build without a pin. [1] https://launchpad.net/~unity-team/+snap/unity8-session-silo [2] An example at the time of this writing is libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0. 1.8.2-1ubuntu0.2 in xenial-updates, 1.8.1-1ubuntu0.2~overlay1 in the overlay.

[3] [3] Actually, we get overridden by 1.8.3 in xenial-proposed. Which maybe we separately don't want enabled for snap builds. But that can be a different bug. :)
