Title:
[SRU] New upstream microrelease flatpak 0.8.9
Status in flatpak package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
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.
