@robert
fwupd has entered main and is seeded in the default installation.  You should 
be able to include the reset of the patches from gnome-3-20-branch now and add 
fwupd to build depends.

@Robert,

Richard has backported the relevant fixes to the 3.20 stable branch.  There are 
6 patches.  I've added them to a packaging branch here for when this is ready 
to be turned on:
https://code.launchpad.net/~superm1/gnome-software/enable-firmware

I've also done a test build on my PPA here:

Richard,

Now that 3.20.0 is dropped, is the hard code freeze lifted on 3.20 so
you can backport these?  At least in anticipation of the MIR for bug
1536871 finally getting finished I'd like to at least make sure we have
good coverage on a PPA with the various backport changes.

Hey Mario,

After the 3.20.0 tarball and the lifting of the hard code freeze I'm
intending to backport a few more patches indeed.

@richard,

Any chance you can backport some of what you did in master to 3.20 upstream
branch for the purpose of a 3.20.x maintenance release?

I'm happy to make a stab at picking the important ones for Ubuntu, but I
think it would be generally better for all distros picking this up to not
do Ubuntu specific backports.

@superm1 we're sticking with GNOME Software 3.20, but happy to backport
any patches that are appropriate. You're probably the best to let us
know exactly what we need, feel free to file bugs with requests (or you
can do it).

Nice, this should happen.

Approved if someone can test it either before or very soon after
uploading - asking the QA team to do that would be fine.

[Mario Limonciello]

Yes, happy to help with testing on some real hardware.

@laney , @seb128, @robert-ancell
what's the intention for moving to a new gnome-software snapshot between now 
and release?  There was a flurry of upstream work in gnome-software 
specifically related to firmware yesterday.  
I'd hope that there will be at least one more snapshot update to at least pull 
that stuff in.

Some of it is dependent upon moving to the soon to be released fwupd 0.7
(due to some API changes to make the experience better), but I don't
have a concern in doing that shortly after the MIR for fwupd is done and
before firmware support is turned on.

[Sebastien Bacher]

We need a ffe there, I'm unsure, subscribing the release team.

rational copied from the fwupdate MIR

"[Rationale]
fwupdate is a new EFI component for processing firmware updates for systems 
which support it. It will be used to allow users to run these upgrades, if 
their EFI BIOS allows, without the need to boot into Windows since it might not 
be available to them. This is only available for users with UEFI."

I think Mario Limonciello will be happy to help with testing - at least
on Debian, he is a great help with moving the fwupd stuff forward :)
