+RiseupVPN
+---------
+
+This is the Snap package for RiseupVPN.
+
+In the future, this snap very likely will be maintained in its own repo, and
+here we might maintain a snap package for the Bitmask client.
+
+At the moment, RiseupVPN has two main components:
+
+- A headless build of bitmask-vpn. This lives in the bitmask-dev repo, it's written
+ in python twisted, and it uses an entrypoint called "anonvpn". This
+ entrypoint launches the bitmaskd backend, and tries to launch the
+ bitmask-systray too.
+
+- A minimalistic systray, written in golang. This lives in the bitmask-systray repo.
+
+
+Releasing
+---------
+From the snap dashboard, you can see the revisions that are built. Up to now,
+the revisions are not automatically released (this might change soon).
+
+To publish them, click on "release" from the dashboard, and assign a channel to them.
+
+By convention, if you release to a channel, please release the revision to all the lower channels too.
+(For example, if you release a particular revision to "candidate", release it
+also to "beta" and "edge").
+
+Do note that the builds for different architectures do have different revision
+numbers, so when releasing you have to repeat the steps for each platform that we're building for.
+
+From the command line:
+
+ snapcraft login
+ snapcraft status riseup-vpn
+
+ # let's publish amd64 to candidate channel and the channels below
+ snapcraft release riseupv-vpn 15 candidate
+ snapcraft release riseupv-vpn 15 beta
+ snapcraft release riseupv-vpn 15 edge
+
+ # and now the i386 build
+ snapcraft release riseupv-vpn 14 candidate
+ snapcraft release riseupv-vpn 14 beta
+ snapcraft release riseupv-vpn 14 edge
+
+
+
+Testing
+-------
+
+To install a snap published on a specific channel, indicate the channel from the commandline:
+
+ snap install riseup-vpn --classic --edge
+ snap install riseup-vpn --classic --beta
+ snap install riseup-vpn --classic --candidate
