Public bug reported: This is a request to SRU the latest microrelease of the 0.8 LTS series of flatpak into artful.
[Impact] New upstream micro release of flatpak, which backports important bug fixes and security improvements into the 0.8 LTS series. Artful is currently at 0.8.7, whereas 0.8.9 is available upstream. The main improvements from 0.8.7 are: * Security fixes for the dbus sandbox, debian bugs that were filed https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=888842 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=880451 * Allows the hosts icons to be available in sandboxed apps, so they can use the hosts theme. * Give each app a persistent cache directory for fontconfig. * Improvements to environments variables exposed to sandboxed apps. * Results in reducing the number of patches being carried. [Test Case] The bugs being resolved are not simple to reproduce, see the test plan below for testing flatpak itself. [Regression Potential] Flatpak has a test suite, which is run on build across all architectures and passes. I have written a manual test plan https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlan/flatpak which can be used to confirm the functionality. I have checked this test plan on an artful machine. Regression potential is low, and upstream is responsive to any issues raised. ** Affects: flatpak (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752381 Title: [SRU] New upstream microrelease flatpak 0.8.9 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flatpak/+bug/1752381/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
