[SRU] 2.24

[Michael Vogt]

This is a new version of snapd.

The changelog for 2.24 is available here https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/2.24/debian/changelog, the raw git changelog is available here: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/commits/2.24 (note that the debian changelog is auto-generated from the merges of the git commits so there is usually no need to look at the raw git commits).

The snappy team released a new 2.24 release that we want SRU into xenial. The new process described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SnapdUpdates was used and we have done integration-tests on the snappy images, autopkgtests on classic and unit tests.

Hello Michael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted snapd into zesty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/2.24+17.04 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 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!

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

snapd on zesty-proposed appears to work decently. For my use case at least, I can properly seed a classic snap (and the core snap to go with it) and run said classic snap satisfactorily. I think this qualifies as a "verification-done" for zesty.

[Federico Gimenez (fgimenez)]

Thanks Mathieu! :)

I've done also the verification of the package on trusty, xenial, yakkety, and zesty:

+ Verified bugs associated to the SRU affecting the user interface
+ Executed manual tests described in [1]
+ Verified new features from the changelog [2] affecting the user interface
+ Executed automated spread tests on xenial [3], yakkety [4], trusty [5], zesty [6], errors in zesty related to [7] (not a regression, the problem happens too with 2.23.6+17.04.1 and seems to be related to the lack of entropy on the test machines)

The verification of the Stable Release Update for snapd has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
