validation assertion
The validation assertion tells us that a certain revision for a snap that is gated by another snap has been validated for a given series. It is closely related to the snap-declaration assertion.
The format is as follows:
type: validation authority-id: <authority account-id> revision: <int> series: <list of series which should accept this assertion> snap-id: <snap-id> approved-snap-id: <snap-id> approved-snap-revision: <int> timestamp: <UTC datetime> revoked: <bool> sign-key-sha3-384: <key id> # Encoded key id of signing key <signature> # Encoded signature
The index is the tuple <series
, snap-id
, approved-snap-id
, approved-snap-revision
>.
This assertion means that refreshing to revision number revision
of snap
approved-snap-id
for series
has been aproved by authority-id
, being snap-id
the snap that was gating the update, of which authority-id
must be the owner.
approved-snap-id
must be part of the refresh-control
list in the snap-declaration
assertion of snap-id
for this to be enforced.
In other words, the recomended revision for approved-snap-id
in a system that
has snap-id
installed is the one in the revision
header. There will be no
automatic installation of newer revisions until a validation with a newer revision
is released by the store. Note however that this does not forbid a forced update
by the device owner.
The validation can be revoked by using the optional flag revoked
.
