Flatpak SRUs

[Adam Eveleigh]

Hi Technical Board,

What would be needed to be done to get Flatpak SRU'd in Ubuntu 
<https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/1001>? Currently one has to 
add a PPA to get updated Flatpak in Ubuntu, which is unfortunate because 
Flatpak is a packaging format to do away with the need to use PPAs. I 
notice snapd has a special SRU process 
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Snapd>, could Flatpak have 
a similar one? What work would need to be done to make this happen?

I can see that Flatpak is up-to-date in Sid 
<https://packages.debian.org/sid/flatpak> and Buster 
<https://packages.debian.org/buster/flatpak> and not far off up-to-date 
in Stretch Backports 
<https://packages.debian.org/stretch-backports/flatpak> but isn't even 
close to up-to-date in Artful 
<https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/flatpak> (or any of the other Ubuntu 
releases). The most recent Flatpak version, at time of writing, is 
0.9.98.2 <https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/releases>.
