Hello Sergio, or anyone else affected,

Accepted snapcraft into artful-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapcraft/2.40+17.10 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 on 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-artful to verification-done-artful. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-artful. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

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

adt on artful which is extensive, is green.
exploratory testing in artful is satisfactory, it produces working snaps (current version in artful doesn't) when installed onto the system.

[Sergio Schvezov (sergiusens)]

adt on xenial which is extensive, is green.
exploratory testing was good
testing on wider products was good https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/snapcraft-snap-building-sanity-checks-for-build-snapcraft-io/4632
