Track creation grant (TCG) request for the "home-assistant" snap

Hi store team,

I’d like to request a track creation grant for the home-assistant snap (publisher: giaever-online), so that new version tracks can be created self-served as upstream releases arrive.

Snap: home-assistant (unrelated, but same tracking as the home-assistant-snap) Publisher: giaever-online (Giaever.online)

Requested track naming pattern: YYYY.M — matching upstream Home Assistant Core release versions (e.g. 2026.7, 2026.8, 2026.9, …).

Cadence: monthly — Home Assistant Core publishes a new minor release the first Wednesday of every month, and each release line receives patch updates for roughly a month after. Per-version tracks let users pin to a release line and control when they take the (occasionally breaking) monthly upgrade, while latest continues to follow the newest release.

Precedent: this mirrors the track scheme already in production use on my existing home-assistant-snap (same publisher), which carries granted tracks 2025.7, 2025.8, 2025.9, 2025.10, 2025.11, etc. The home-assistant snap is its successor (container-based architecture for Ubuntu Core), and will follow the identical track lifecycle.

Commitment: tracks will only ever be created following the YYYY.M pattern above, one per upstream release; no other track names will be created under this grant.

Given the fixed monthly cadence, a standing grant would avoid a recurring forum request every month. Happy to provide any further detail.

Thanks!

Hi,

The track guardrail already exists afaict, as per Guardrail (TCG) request for home-assistant-snap - #11 by joachimmg.

Hi,

Yes, that is correct. But this is for the version without the -snap suffix, which is built differently - but will run alongside the other -snap suffixed snap.

Sorry, I really mean it. A guardrail like \d{4}\.\d{1,2} already exists for home-assistant as per the abovementioned thread.

Hah xD Sorry, I might have requested it back when the name was transferred to me. So sorry for not remembering it, in such case. Thanks for your prompt replies! Appreciate it!
