@brian-murray - there isn't a special exception, so I have written a proposal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SnapdGlibUpdates
The next step is to submit it to a member of the SRU team - would you be able to review it? snapd-glib should mostly fit section 2.3 "New upstream microreleases" from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates. The main difference is new features are regularly added because we play catch-up with snapd. Note that old features are never removed and new features are added in a compatible way to not interfere with older API. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1799614 Title: Use new media API Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in snapd-glib package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-software source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in gnome-software source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in snapd-glib source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in gnome-software source package in Cosmic: Fix Committed Status in snapd-glib source package in Cosmic: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] snapd now provides 'media' which replaces the old 'screenshots' data. We need to migrate to this as the old screenshot data will be removed in the future. [Test Case] Run gnome-software with updated snapd-glib and confirm that screenshots and promoted snap banners continue to work. [Regression Potential] Possibility of new errors being introduced in updated code paths.
