Standard roll-out procedure for new LXD releases?

[vrms (Gunnar)]

taken from: LXD 2.13 has been released:

@stgraber

Our usual roll-out looks like:

1. Push as a snap to the “candidate” channel
2. Push as a Debian package to the Ubuntu development release (currently “artful”)
3. [ wait for automatic testing in Ubuntu ]
4. Automatic publishing to the PPAs
5. [ wait 3-4 days for bug reports ]
6. Push to the various -backports pockets *1

That lets us slowly ramp up the number of users and stop the roll-out if anything goes wrong (as we did between LXD 2.8 and 2.12).

*1 backports repositories are the recommended source for most recent LXD versions for production environments
