Hello Sergio, or anyone else affected,

Accepted snapcraft into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapcraft/2.15 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

These are the tests that must be executed in order to verify the package:

plugins:

autotools:
- build the VLC snap.

python2:
- build a snap using constraints.
- build a snap using process-dependency-links.

python3:
- build a snap using process-dependency-links.

go:
- build the vault snap.

dump:
- build a snap with dump and stage packages.

make:
- build a snap with artifacts instead of an install target.

general:
- run snap commands with parallel build disabled.
- run the owner/group manual test: https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/blob/master/manual-tests.md#test-file-ownership-is-retained
- build a snap from with snapcraft.yaml in a subdir.
- run the cache manual test: https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/blob/master/manual-tests.md#test-stage-package-caching

parser:
- run the parser with an error and check the exit code.

store:
- try to register an already reserved snap name.

Tested in an up-to-date xenial virtual machine with kvm.

I installed snapcraft, snapcraft-examples and snapcraft-parser, version 2.14. Then enabled proposed and updated those packages to 2.15.

The verification for 2.15 failed on xenial, so 2.15.1 was released with a few small fixes.

I tested it in an up-to-date xenial virtual machine with kvm.

I installed snapcraft, snapcraft-examples and snapcraft-parser, version 2.14. Then enabled proposed and updated those packages to 2.15.1.

Then I ran the following tests:

✓ build a snap with artifacts instead of an install target.
✓ run the parser with an error and check the exit code.
✓ build a snap with chown warnings, check that they are printed only with --debug.
✓ build a part that depends on a library part

I'm marking this bug as verified so it can land in xenial. Thanks Steve and Chris!
