This document describes the policy for updating the [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd-glib|snapd-glib package]] in stable Ubuntu releases.

[[https://github.com/snapcore/snapd-glib/|snapd-glib]] is a library to help client applications to communicate with snapd. It provides appropriate bindings for applications that use GLib, Qt or GObject bindings. As the snapd project is continuously updated, snapd-glib is also continuously updated to enable new features. snapd-glib is designed to be both API and ABI compatible with older releases so these updates can be rolled out.

== SRU Process ==

  * A new feature is added to snapd and this is updated into Ubuntu ([[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SnapdUpdates|process]]).
  * Changes are made to snapd-glib with automated unit tests.
  * Changes are tested on landing using a continuous integration system (Travis).
  * A tagged release of snapd-glib is made - this is manually confirmed to be working at release time.
  * The current development Ubuntu release is updated.
  * snapd-glib is updated in the Ubuntu development release.
  * A bug is opened for each release and contains instructions on what to smoke test (i.e. the reverse dependencies of snapd-glib).
  * Bugs are opened for specific features/bugfixes that have been backported to stable Ubuntu releases. These bugs contain testing instructions as per the [[StableReleaseUpdates|usual SRU]] process.
  * Bugs are confirmed as per standard SRU process.
