Infrastructure

  • Convert all remaining code to use explicit proxy configuration settings rather than picking up a proxy from the environment, making the effective production settings easier to understand

Libraries

Registry

  • Include the registered store package name for a snap recipe in its builds’ titles if it exists and differs from the snap recipe name
  • Move some metadata from SnapStoreUploadJob to SnapBuild, to prevent store upload jobs getting into states that cannot be retried

Soyuz (package management)

  • Add Archive.getSigningKeyData, currently just proxying through to the keyserver (#1667725)
  • Add extendedKeyUsage information to kmod signing keys so that they can only be used to sign modules, not boot loaders or kernels (#1774746)
