+Automatic builds (snap)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When properly configured (TBD), launchpad does up 4 daily builds if code is
+modified in bitmask-dev repo. We're building for amd64 and i386. They are
+pushed to beta channel in the snap store. If you need to force a build,
+trigger it by editing the version string in the snapcraft.yaml file.
+
+Releasing snaps
+----------------
+
+From the snap dashboard, you can see the revisions that are built.
+By default, we have riseupvpn-builds configured to upload builds to beta and
+edge channels. If you are going to be pushing to edge manually regularly,
+please configure the automated builds to push just to beta for some time and
+push your builds to edge channel.
+
+To publish a snap, 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 automated 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
+
+ # if we've built a release manually, we have to push it first. it gives us a
+ # revision number that we use in the next step.
+
+ snapcraft push riseup-vpn_0.10.6+git_amd64.snap
