I'm wondering if it makes sense to also get this released for artful? Unity is not the default experience but the package is still available, so in theory someone upgrading from xenial to artful and insisting on staying with Unity as his shell might experience a regression.

What do you think? I'll accept it for now, but maybe it's worth considering?

Why was the 20180209 version of the package created? Does it too need testing?

Brian, it was just rebuilt by bileto because I forgot to untick bamf from a rbuild, so nothing changes from previous testing.

So I just re-verified the check.

@3v1n0 can you also test the artful version?

As a part of the Stable Release Updates quality process a search for Launchpad bug reports using the version of bamf from artful-proposed was performed and bug 1752153 was found. Please investigate this bug report to ensure that a regression will not be created by this SRU. In the event that this is not a regression remove the "verification-failed-artful" tag from this bug report and add the tag "bot-stop-nagging" to bug 1752153 (not this bug). Thanks!

What testing has been has been performed on this package? On what versions?

That was in an artful VM running bamfdaemon 0.5.3+17.10.20180208-0ubuntu1

What testing was performed on this version? For example, did you test that an application with security profile gets a correct desktop file?

Please re-tag once you have detailed what verification was performed.

Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that specific release.
