Snapd 2.54.4 has been proposed for Fedora 34, 35 and the upcoming 36.

42

Another round of snapd updates, this time to 2.55.2.

43

Snapd 2.55.2 introduced a regression in snap layouts. Fortunately upstream release 2.55.3 with the right fix. I’ve now published a new set of updates.

44

multipass (and snapcraft) snaps are still broken on Fedora 36 - Multipass can't start VMs on Fedora 36

45

I’ve published a set of snapd package updates to version 2.56.2:

Note that Fedora 34 has reached EOL.

46

@mborzecki Sorry for the stupid question. I have just upgraded to 2.56 on Fedora using these instructions. What happens once 2.56 hits stable, do I have to do anything to no longer use a testing version

47

No, you don’t have to do anything. 2.56 will enter the updates repository, so it’s the version dnf would install without you explicitly enabling updates-testing.

Thanks. I am now trying to manually upgrade snapd on another Fedora machine and the method no longer works. It says No security updates needed, but 17 updates available But now I am still on 2.55 and can no longer install several snaps.
