Added upgrade tests from Zesty to Artful for Ubuntu and flavours.
Working on making all these tests pass now so that everyone will have
a solid and reliable upgrade path.
Does this refer to what was previously at
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/376/builds/148044/testcases
for instance?
I assume this also is part of the irc discussion on 20th?
Work is being done on the installer tests. This will extend the
current installer tests to check that not only has the install
completed successfully but that all desktop environment is working as
expected, this had previously been covered with manual tests.
Do flavours carry on the discussion here?
Or are you talking about just Ubuntu - while I'd love for some
autotesting of at least one flavour's iso - I wouldn't be partaking of
any breath holding competitions - just want some clarification ;)
If you are talking about flavours too - I wonder if this is one of those
bite too much scenarios?
That said some testing on lightdm for those of us using it would be
welcome - Robert (Ancell) will know what I mean there.
kind regards

= Snaps =
More GNOME applications are being packaged as Snaps. There is still
some work to do to get them fully confined and fully integrated into
the desktop. We’re working on adding Snap support to Gtk’s Portals to
allow desktop Snaps to access resources outside their sandbox.
We will start tracking the Snaps here:
